20 years ago I visited on a business trip Malaysia. I met during these days the German Ambassador Harald Nestroy. He told me about his love for Bhutan.
One of the poorest countries in the world which needed urgently help from outside. This impressing country was isolated from the rest of the world.
Only a limited number of visitors were allowed to travel there. If I were looking for the real Buddhism I should better visit Bhutan as early as possible.
He had founded an NGO which is called today ProBhutan e.V. with the intention to support Bhutan together with friends, mainly in the medical sector. I decided to support Bhutan as well.
It took a while until I visited Bhutan in 1999 together with Harald and Angelika Nestroy who married in Thimphu in a Buddhistic ritual. I was the witness of the marriage. My first impressions were overwhelming. I hade during the past years visited many Asian countries but Bhutan was very special. I fall in love with this country and the wonderful friendly people.The first project was the construction of a hospital in Punakha, the previous capital of Bhutan.
A lot of information are on the homepage www.probhutan.com.
I support ProBhutan until today. All the projects are explained on the homepage.
I would highly appreciate if you, my readers, start to support Bhutan
as well through Pro Bhutan.
