Be­schrei­bung

It ta­kes Cou­ra­ge! Gi­se­la and Die­ter Hel­big left their home, fri­ends, and church, to go and live for five ye­ars with the Maa­sai in Tan­z­a­nia. All that at 50 plus ye­ars of age. When the cou­ple set out for Af­ri­ca, the no­ma­dic Maa­sai were un­der­go­ing huge cul­tu­ral and eco­no­mic ch­an­ge, as was the en­ti­re coun­try. Gi­se­la shares with us ever­y­thing the cou­ple li­ved th­rough, from lan­guage dif­fi­cul­ties to cro­co­di­les, from me­di­cal emer­gen­ci­es to an­ci­ent cus­toms, from the arid be­au­ty of the land­scape to the ge­nui­ne warmth the cou­ple ex­pe­ri­en­ced from their Maa­sai fri­ends. One of Gisela’s most en­ri­ching times was spent tea­ching re­a­ding and wri­ting un­der the sha­de of a gi­ant tree. For the Hel­bigs, this was a life-chan­­ging ex­pe­ri­ence. The cou­ple is now re­ti­red, and li­ves in Nürn­berg.
