Press & Media
Talk to Us — or Come and See for Yourself
Meet us. Ask questions. See the work first-hand.
Would you like to report on Friends of the Bamboo Foundation Gambia e.V.?
We would be pleased to hear from you.
We do not simply want to tell you what we are doing — we are happy to show you. Whether you would like a personal conversation, an interview with members of our Executive Board, an exchange with Jens Poppe or Omar Darboe, or a visit to the project in The Gambia, you are warmly invited to form your own impression.
We Welcome Real Conversations
For us, good reporting should be about more than prepared statements.
Would you like to know:
- why we chose to become involved in this particular project?
- what bamboo could realistically change in The Gambia?
- what the real challenges on the ground are?
- how cooperation between Germany and The Gambia works?
- how donations are used?
- what personally motivates the people behind the project?
Then talk to us.
Critical questions are explicitly welcome.
Interviews? Absolutely.
We are happy to arrange conversations with:
Jens Poppe
About his personal commitment, his regular visits to The Gambia, his experience with bamboo and the development of the project.
Omar Darboe
About the situation on the ground, the idea behind the Bamboo Foundation Gambia, local leadership and the Foundation’s goals for the coming years.
The Executive Board of Friends of the Bamboo Foundation Gambia e.V.
About the association, international cooperation, funding, transparency and future projects.
Would You Like to Visit The Gambia?
Even better.
By prior arrangement, we will be happy to help prepare a visit to the Bamboo Foundation Gambia.
Meet the people behind the project, see the work on the ground and form your own impression.
No polished press backdrop. No staged media event.
Just the project as it really is.
Need Press Material?
For editorial purposes, we can provide:
- press photographs
- logos
- background information
- facts about the association
- information on current projects
- short biographies of our key contacts
- available video and photographic material
If you need something specific, simply ask.
Your Next Story May Already Be Here
