Shaun
Awaseb.

Shaun was born in 1983 in Windhoek, Namibia, as the son of a Namibian entrepreneur. After graduating from the German High School in Windhoek, he spent several years in Cape Town, before returning with the aim of combining the economically vibrant tourism sector in Namibia with social help projects for the township of Katutura.

With the founding of WADADEE African Safaris (2008) and the opening of the first guest house in the Katutura Township, he has helped to change the image of this community so burdened with prejudices and created jobs for some of the poorest inhabitants of Namibia.

Years of experience with young people from all over the world, give Shaun the know-how to inspire and motivate people for his beliefs and values. His deep passion to bring about positive change for Namibia and it’s inhabitants inspires even the youngest members of our society to pursue fair chances to live a life free of poverty and disease.

Christine Drayer .

Christine was born and raised in Windhoek. She attended the German school for 12 years. After school, Christine completed her training in Munich. Christine then met her future husband and moved to Barcelona with him for 4 years. In 2004 they moved back to Namibia permanently. Christine has 2 children aged 14 and 16 who also attend the German school.

Christine hasn't known Sandra for that long, but Sandra has fulfilled a heart's desire for Christine's family and since then a deep friendship has developed. When Sandra asked Christine if she wanted to join the Especially Namibian Trust, she first said, "I have to take a look at the projects". So, together with all the trustees, we went through all the projects and Christine immediately said "yes".

Yes to help, Yes to try to improve living conditions, Yes to try to give children minimum needs and at the end of the day just give something back, because it's our home.
