Since the foundation of the Swiss Board of Aid, I have been passionately committed to our projects. I am often in South Africa and like to get in touch with the people in need. The gratitude in their eyes always touches me, humbles me and gives me energy when I am back in Switzerland to support them wherever I can. I organise everything in Switzerland that is not possible for our daughter Ranjana Gigi, who mostly lives in South Africa. I am responsible for the sale of the South African articles and handcraft made by ourselves (driftwood lamps, jams, apple chips, truffles, shell jewelry, baby booties etc.) in Switzerland. I have a small shop at my home in Winterthur and post the ordered items from the Onlineshop . I also support my husband Peter Briner collecting and transporting donated items. In Switzerland, I and my husband keep in touch with our donors and try to continously acquire more donations.

We in Switzerland live in an extremely privileged world. Therefore, I wholeheartedly like to give something back to people who are not on the sunny side of life. I can attest from my experience: Giving and doing something good definitely makes you happier than taking.
