Andrea Casiraghi's trip to Africa
Mr. Andrea Casiraghi, son of H.R.H. the Princess of Hanover, took part, in February and in March 2004, in a humanitarian programme in a volunteer scheme for AMADE. Along with M.Francis Kasasa, General Secretary of AMADE, Mr. Casiraghi had the opportunity to visit AMADE satellites in Senegal, in Togo and Niger. As he arrived in Senegal, he could find out how it was managed and how new programmes were implemented.Mr. Casiraghi, by suggesting new ways to tackle difficulties, will make this centre more efficient and also will enable it to set its priorities right. In Lomé, the Togo based AMADE is involved in vocational training for young tailors. On the one hand, Andrea Casiraghi contributed in teaching them the basics of reading and writing, as things stood he decided to employ a new teacher for this purpose. The whole programme handles a wide range of subjects aimed at raising social awareness such as healthcare issues, environmental principles, equal opportunities endeavours. On the other hand, he personally bought a blackboard, 3 footballs, 11 school books. He also donated money to create a football team in which both street-children of the area and students of the centre would play together. By that time, Mr. Casiraghi realized that Lomé was a gateway for child trafficking. As a consequence, he raised Mr. Saparapa's awareness to this problems, Mr. Saparapa is in charge with the AMADE in Togo. Andrea Casiraghi would like this centre to fight against this social scourge along with other organizations. And it could ideally be part of the national commission in charge with the child trafficking in an advisory capacity.The last visit took place in Nigeria, Mr. Mainassara, President of this AMADE, guided Mr. Casiraghi throughout several programmes being carried out. Francis Kasasa and Andrea
Casiraghi went to Foulan Kaoura to talk to Locals and to analize their real needs. It was obvious to both visitors that the top priority issue was to provide the centre with computers, access to the internet, more appropriate facilities for the area. They also decided to start a programme focused on providing school books and a teacher to educate them, and a first medical aid facilities. In conclusion, Andrea Casiraghi's visit to these several AMADEs highlighted their strenghts and weaknesses, and he put forward new means to achieve good results in these humanitarian programmes.
