There I am in regular telephone exchanges with the various project sites, because Cap Anamur has cooperation agreements with three governmental and five non-governmental health facilities throughout the country. I inquire about the pharmaceutical and consumable needs of the facilities and have new medications and supplies sent to them as needed. To do this, I ask various suppliers for prices and order the materials.<br \/>\nBefore COVID, I regularly visited the project sites to be there as a local contact.<br \/>\nI am in regular contact with the head office in Cologne. Once a year, the documents for NGO registration must be completed and submitted.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_height=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;826837&#8243;]What I value most about my work:[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;147922&#8243;]Through my work, I have the opportunity to improve the situation of the poor in this country.

We travel together to visit the different sites, we spend the whole time together.<\/p>\n<p>I know from my years of experience that this is unusual. European visitors are often accommodated in hotels and do not experience many aspects of the daily life of the local population.<br \/>\nThe visitors from Cologne know what they are talking about when they fly home, again.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_height=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;184383&#8243;]My fondest memories in the project:[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;695617&#8243;]One of my most formative memories is meeting Rupert Neudeck, the founder of Cap Anamur, during one of his project visits to Bangladesh.
