Auma Obama inspires students in Homburg: Responsibility for the future!

dr. Auma Obama, the sister of former US President Barack Obama, recently visited the Mannlich-Gymnasium in Homburg. As part of the opening event of the Siasaar project, which is carried out in cooperation with her Sauti Kuu Foundation, she encouraged the students to take responsibility for their own life. She appealed to the young people not to be afraid, break new ground and to pursue their dreams. "Everyone should take the chance to do something out of their lives," she emphasized.

In her speech, Auma Obama also spoke about the connection to Germany, where she learned German herself. Around 130 students were present at the event, which was enriched by various local sizes, including Dr. Anika Limburg, director of the Saarland Education Campus, and Mayor Manfred Rippel. Auma Obama, who is entitled "Ambassador for Change", is known for her commitment in the educational area and, according to

The Siasaar project

The Siasaar project, which means "strong voices", aims to bring German and Kenyan students together. Through various workshops, the students can act and learn from each other as ambassadors of the project. Mayor Rippel encouraged those present to share their ideas and visions, while Auma Obama propagated a vision of mutual support and understanding. "See each other as humans," she asked the participants.

The event was moderated by teacher Johannes Schmitt, who also led a talent group in which Auma Obama reported on her own experiences in Germany and the mission of her foundation. The patron of the project, Shary Reeves, was absent by phone and sent a video message, which also loosened up the event framework.
