Rosi Gollmann
www.andheri-hilfe.org. Rosi Gollmann was born in 1927. Her parents raised her with strong christian beliefs and her childhood was characterized by war. These factors created in her the wish to study theology and dedicate her live to social tasks. She worked as a teacher for religion and looked well after whosoever was in need of help around her. After reading an article about the situation of indian orphans she started innumerable auxillary actions for the orphanage in ANDHERI, Bombay.
Under her functioning as the first chairwoman of ANDHERI the project developed from mere dealing with symptoms to the prevention of reasons for underdevelopment. After 1974 she started with an initiative for the healing of blind people in Bangladesh. Nowadays the "Andheri-Hilfe Bonn e.V." carries over 500 projects which focus on motivating, building the awareness of, and organizing all the people inolved. Also in Germany she plead for a change of mind and solidarity on part of the society for the afflicted people.
Although she handed over the leadership of the organization, she is still actively working with all people participating in the project: "ANDHERI- That's her life!"
