” I am involved with Wings of Hope because I am absolutely convinced by the combination of trauma care and peace building. I have learned from you that entire societies can be traumatized and that healing must therefore also take place in groups. “
Prof. Dr. Stefan Schmid
” For me, Wings of Hope is a piece of Christian peace building. I am convinced that careful, professional and sustainable trauma care and peace building makes our world a better and more beautiful place to live in. If I can contribute to the success of our work as a board member, then I am happy to do so. Because I am convinced that God wants to give us a life of true peace. He trusts us with peace, in a very concrete and real way. “
Heike Davidson
