Former Foundation Board Members
Paul Wanner
During two periods, from 2004 to 2011, Paul Wanner was an active, extremely valuable member of the Foundation Board. During his term in office he worked passionately for our objectives. He not only acquired a significant number of new donors among his friends and colleagues, he also participated actively in the project work during his numerous visits to Ethiopia. We are very happy and thankful for his valuable contribution and we are lucky and honored that he will be further active for our foundation and we remain connected in deep friendship.
