<h2>Day 4 &#8211; Final meeting in Luanda</h2>
<p>Today, weÂ are  going back home to Germany.Â At 6 a.m. in the morning,  we leave by car to  Luanda, which is  eight hours away. We arrive safely  in Luanda and  can have a last meeting with the employees of Save the  Children in Luanda and say goodbye to  everybody.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.myrbopportunity.com/wp-content/uploads/Luanda02.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-8269" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://www.myrbopportunity.com/wp-content/uploads/Luanda02-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a>We are about to  board the plane with lots of  impressions from the projects â€“ we would  like to say a big thank you Save the  Children and Reckitt Benckiser!</p>
<p>Tag 4</p>
<p>Heute ist der Tag unserer  Abreise. Bereits um sechs Uhr morgens machen wir uns mit dem Auto wieder auf den  weiten Weg nach Luanda.</p>
<p>Die Fahrt verlÃ¤uft gut und so  kÃ¶nnen wir den Mitarbeitern des Save the Children BÃ¼ros in Luanda noch einen  letzten Besuch abstatten und uns von ihnen verabschieden.</p>
<p>Gleich steigen wir mit vielen  neuen EindrÃ¼cken und Erfahrungen wieder in unser Flugzeug in Richtung  Deutschland. Wir durften hier in Angola fÃ¼r fÃ¼nf Tage in eine vollkommen andere  Welt eintauchen und uns vor Ort einen Eindruck von den Projekten machen &#8211; Â an dieser Stelle ein herzliches DankeschÃ¶n an  Save the Children und Reckitt Benckiser!</p>

<h2>Day 3 &#8211; 26.04 &#8211; Support to villages</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.myrbopportunity.com/wp-content/uploads/20100926200805chipipa-1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-8246" title="Chipipa-1" src="http://www.myrbopportunity.com/wp-content/uploads/20100926200805chipipa-1.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="160" /></a>Today we went  to Chipipa. After the obligatory meetings with the  officials, we met another  Health Commitee in Dondo. We were quite  shocked by the constitution of the  children; their clothes were very  dirty and they didnâ€™t seem to be very healthy.  The very engaged  committee held a short drama on the importance of cleaning  water. In  the next village of Kalima, we were part of a celebration for the   successful completion of a birth attendend training. We handed over the  kits to  the women, containing gloves, disinfectants and other medical  items. The help  from Germany really reaches the people here! The women  go back to their villages  and spread the learnings to many more people,  helping to save many  lifes!<br />
Once again, we are amazed by the hospitality of the people we met. We   were welcomed very warmly with dances and songs in every village!</p>
<p>26.04.2011</p>
<p>Heute waren wir in Chipipa. Nach den Ã¼blichen  HÃ¶flichkeitsbesuchen bei den Offiziellen haben wir in Dondo ein Health Comittee  kennengelernt. Wir waren ziemlich schockiert: Die Kinder hatten sehr  zerschlissene Kleider und haben keinen sehr gesunden Eindruck gemacht. Das  Komitee hat mit voller Ãœberzeugung ein kurzes StÃ¼ck Ã¼ber den richtigen Umgang  mit Wassser vorgefÃ¼hrt. Im nÃ¤chsten Ort in Kalima waren wir beim Abschluss einer  Schulung von Geburtshelfern dabei, bei der wir am Ende die GrundausrÃ¼stung fÃ¼r  ihre Arbeit Ã¼berreichen durften (Verbandsmaterial, Handschuhe,  Desinfektionsmittel usw.). Hier kommt die Hilfe aus Deutschland wirklich an! Die  Frauen gehen zurÃ¼ck in ihre DÃ¶rfer und kÃ¶nnen das Gelernte an sehr viele  Menschen weitergeben und helfen, Leben zu retten!<br />
Wir waren auch heute wieder  von der Freundlichkeit der Menschen begeistert, die wir getroffen haben: Wir  wurden Ã¼berall mit Gesang und Tanz sehr herzlich begrÃ¼ÃŸt.</p>

<h2>Tuesday &#8211; 04.26 &#8211; Luvili and Essaque</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.myrbopportunity.com/wp-content/uploads/29105545.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-8231" title="29105545" src="http://www.myrbopportunity.com/wp-content/uploads/29105545.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="160" /></a>In the morning, we have  several courtesy  meetings, among others with  the Vice governour of the  province Huambo. Then we  are leaving for  Chicala, where we meet with  the only trained doctor for the  region  (over 700.00 people!) who shows  us the hospital. The medical staff is   very engaged to help the people  with the limited resources they have. On  the  road to Luvili we  experience the first real offroad-feeling,  leaving the tarred  main  road onto a gravel road through the woods.  Arriving in Luvili, the  people  give us a very warm welcome dancing and  singing for us. Then  the health  committee informs us about their work.<br />
In  the next  village, Essaque, a big  group of children is already waiting  to sing  and dance for us. We join a  sanitization training and leave for  Huambo  in a thunderstorm with heavy rain.  This evening, we are going  to meet  a youth committee who work on awareness  raising projects for   HIV/AIDS.</p>
<h2>Dienstag &#8211;  26.04 &#8211; Luvili und Essaque</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.myrbopportunity.com/wp-content/uploads/angola2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-8232" title="angola2" src="http://www.myrbopportunity.com/wp-content/uploads/angola2.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="158" /></a>Heute morgen haben wir bei mehreren offiziellen Besuchen u.a. den   Vize-Gouverneur der Provinz Huambo getroffen. Danach sind wir Richtung  Chicala  gestartet, wo der einzige (!) ausgebildete Arzt der Region,  zustÃ¤ndig fÃ¼r Ã¼ber  700.000 Menschen, uns das Krankenhaus zeigt. Dort  wird engagiert versucht, den  Menschen mit einfachen Mitteln bestmÃ¶glich  zu helfen. Danach starten wir in das  nahegelegene Dorf Luvili. Auf der  Fahrt kommt zum ersten mal â€žOffroad-Feeling  aufâ€œ, als wir von der  HauptstraÃŸe auf den unbefestigten Waldweg abbiegen. In  Luvili werden  wir mit viel Gesang und Tanz willkommen geheiÃŸen werden und vom   Gesundheitskomitee Ã¼ber die Arbeit in den DÃ¶rfern informiert.<br />
Danach fahren  wir weiter nach Essaque. Schon von weitem sehen wir eine  Horde von Kindern, die  auf uns wartet und uns mit Liedern begrÃ¼ÃŸt.  AnschlieÃŸend sind wir bei einem  â€žHÃ¤ndewasch-Trainingâ€œ dabei und fahren  in strÃ¶mendem Regen nach Huambo zurÃ¼ck.  Heute Abend treffen wir noch  eine Jugendgruppe, die die Aids-Problematik in  TheaterstÃ¼cken  aufbereitet.</p>

<h2>Sunday to Monday &#8211; 25.04 &#8211; Arrival at Huambo</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.myrbopportunity.com/wp-content/uploads/huambo-27386.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-8223" title="huambo-27386" src="http://www.myrbopportunity.com/wp-content/uploads/huambo-27386-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a>After an 8-hour flight we  landed safely in Luanda and had no  problems with immigration. Only our driver is  a bit surprised to see  our luggage; in the end, we sit with two people in the  front of the car  and four in the back. Very cosy! After a short stop in the  offices of  Save the Children weâ€™re leaving for Huambo. We travel in rain and   thunderstorm through beautiful landscape on a road with lots of holes  and bumps  and after 9 hours drive we finally arrive in our hotel. We  are already very  excited to visit the first projects tomorrow!</p>
<h2>Sonntag auf Montag &#8211; 25.04 â€“ Anreise</h2>
<p>Nach 8 Stunden Flug sind wir heute  morgen gut in Luanda gelandet und  hatten keine Probleme bei der Einreise. Der  Fahrer, der uns abholt,  hat wohl mit weniger GepÃ¤ck gerechnet â€“ am Ende saÃŸen  wir mit zwei Mann  auf dem Beifahrersitz und zu Viert auf der RÃ¼ckbank! Nach  einem  Zwischenstopp im BÃ¼ro von Save the Children starteten wir dann Richtung   Huambo. Die Reise ging durch eine tolle Landschaft, allerdings mit  vielen  SchlaglÃ¶chern, Regen und Gewitter. Letztlich kamen wir erschÃ¶pft  nach 9 Stunden  Fahrt in unserem Hotel an. Morgen geht es mit den  ersten Besuchen los â€“ wir sind  schon sehr gespannt, was uns morgen  erwartet.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.dosomethingbig.de/"><img class="size-full wp-image-2051 alignright" title="german-student-comp" src="http://www.myrbopportunity.com/wp-content/uploads/german-student-comp.jpg" alt="german-student-comp" width="281" height="430" /></a><br />
Have you ever <em>really</em> wanted to make a difference, to do something that matters, to do something BIG?</p>
<p>German students have aÂ  fantastic opportunity to do just that, by taking part in an amazing competitionÂ which challenges entrants to createÂ a simple yet innovative idea to save children&#8217;s livesÂ in Angola, one of the poorest places in the world.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>The competition is being run by RB Germany together with Save the Children. Student groups are invited to plan the whole project and manageÂ it like a real business case.<br />
It needs to beÂ realistic and efficient. Entrants also need to show strong problem-solving skills, sharp analytical skills and persuasiveness.<br />
Projects will be rated by KPIs (key performance indicators) such as how well the project fits the region, how well social networks are used to raise awareness, how efficient the money would be used and, of course , the quality of the idea.</p>
<p>And the winners will be given the opportunity to visitÂ Angola and seeÂ first hand the projects that Reckitt Benckiser is implementing there.<br />
The winners&#8217;Â idea will also be documented throughout as a case study for corporate social responsibility e.g. for universities.<br />
This scheme follows a tradition of collaborations between RB and <a title="Save the Children" href="http://www.savethechildren.com/" target="_blank">Save the Children </a>in finding great projects that impact and really make a difference to the children who need help the most.<br />
The closing date for entries is the end of March 2010 and they will be judged by experts at Save the Children and Reckitt Benckiser colleagues.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>If you want to join in, you can find all the information on the <a href="http://www.dosomethingbig.de">Do Something Big </a>website. The site is German only however, as the project addresses German students.<br />
Plus you can even help just be subscribing to the newsletter &#8211; Reckitt Benckiser has pledged toÂ add 1 Euro to the project budget for each e-mail address subscribed to the newsletter.</p>
<p>Â<br />
<strong>So don&#8217;t wait &#8211; DO SOMETHING BIG!</strong></p>
