AIE4MALAIKA - A STORY WRITTEN IN THE STARS

AIE4MALAIKA - A STORY WRITTEN IN THE STARS

 

Do you know that magical feeling, when you meet a total stranger but it feels as if you have known each other for years? 

THE BIRTH OF AIE IS ONE OF RANDOM ENCOUNTERS AND BEAUTIFUL SURPRISES

The most beautiful moments in life happen unexpectedly but not unwittingly. Such a moment took place in summer 2017 when I met this young pharmacist Pavla in Croatia. One moment led into a series of beautiful actions and aie was born. As you can read from our story, the birth of aie really is one of those random encounters and beautiful surprises. More about this here

MAYBE IT WAS JUST MEANT TO BE ...

Last summer, right after Covid-19 hit the planet, I received an intriguing LinkedIn invitation to connect. In fact, I normally do not accept invitations from  strangers on LinkedIn, but this time I made an exception. Maybe it was an exceptionally good day or it was just meant to be.

Today, I am so happy that I accepted his invitation. It was about six months later when this gentleman contacted me again and asked, if he could introduce me to another remarkable lady from his network. I of course said immediately that it would be a pleasure. When I finally met (virtually) this remarkable lady, I felt like I had known her for years and things really started to click. This remarkable lady is Noella Coursaris, founder and CEO of Malaika DRC*. 

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER

We share the same wish and will to make this planet a better and a more equal place for people to live in, and together we are stronger. This is how aie4malaika was born, again a story of random encounters and beautiful surprises. 

 

There are few things more important than enabling all girls to receive a proper education.

As Mahatma Gandhi once said: "If we want to reach real peace in the world, we should start educating children." Malaika is truly empowering the next generation of leaders by enabling the schooling of these wonderful girls.

The story might sound like a fairytale - but then again, isn't that the case for all beautiful stories, whether they are true or a tale?

Who knows, maybe this story was written in stars. Hear these wonderful ladies share their stories on this short video clip from Spring '21 - to the video. 
(we had so many technical difficulties when having this wonderful session that it is beyond description. We were just so excited to have this opportunity to have Noella joining us.)
