the old kiosk
of the municipality of Mindelo retires!
On the truck it dismantles itself into firewood, dilapidated as it is.
Um ka ta podé mais!
Still Praça Aurélio Gonçalves is under reconstruction,
but the kiosk from Porto Novo has made the leap over the sea.

Unser
Reisehandbuch
CABO VERDE
Kapverdische Inseln
im Verlag Reise-Know-How bekam
gute Kritiken und
wurde zum Bestseller, inzwischen in der 6.
Auflage.
Die Reiseinformationen sind wieder aktuell
und die Kapitel zu Geschichte und Kultur,
welche die Besonderheit dieses Buchs ausmachen,
haben wir weiter vertieft.
Doch, wie es das Schicksal jedes
Reiseführers bleibt, hat sich schon
bis zum Erscheinen wieder Einiges verändert.
Dafür gibt es die Webseite
Adenda.
Viel Spass beim Kennenlenren einer faszinierend
Kultur in einem kleinen aber ungeahnt vielfältigen
Land! |

A new publication in german language
on:
Child
Health in Developing Countries
The extensive literature review on health
problems and health service problems concerning
children in poverty shows an actual global
picture of risks, burden of disease and
efective solutions. Chapters on the history
of child health help to understand the
crucial relationship to "distant factors"
like peace, economy and social politics.
In the chapters on management of child
health related social and health services,
the authors make use of their extensive
personal experience in a variety of countries,
including the Republic of Cape Verde.
