1984年にドイツの教会から1万ドルの寄付を受けて、3冊の開発教育用の絵本を出版しました。　その後何らかの形でそのお礼をしたいと考えていましたが、本年、9月ドイツの教会の推薦を受けて1万ドルを“EINE WELT Netzwerk Sachsen-Anhalt e.V.”に寄付し、9月10日に送金いたしました。

On behalf of Bishop Dr. Wolfgang Huber who was very deeply touched by your words, I am writing today to express the EKD’s gratitude and to tell you how impressed we have been to read about your fair trade project.
After having spoken with the EED (Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst) , the Protestant churches’ development service which is the successor organization of KED and EZE, we would like to suggest that your donation be addressed to an organization which is establishing a network of One World Fair Trade shops in the Eastern part of Germany in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt. Your donation would greatly help them build such a network with the help of a professional advisor.
