A retired German radiochemist trades his research lab for an African bicycle repair shop and travels to Rwanda and Burundi on multiple occasions for a children's aid organization to offer practical opportunities to young people living on the streets. What begins as a technical aid mission through the ADFC quickly becomes a profound human experience. Peter Feige encounters people with great openness, experiences daily life, history, and culture up close, and grows through challenges, setbacks, and moving moments. With keen insight and quiet irony, he recounts flat tires and cultural misunderstandings, friendship, and mutual trust. An honest, inspiring account of his experiences.
