The Sage Hospital e.V. again was invited by his protector the major of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit to present the project at the annual "Hoffest" in the city hall.

This year we showed an exhibition in cooperation with Marco Riedel from Room Division.

Together with the children of Warang we worked out some pictures with the theme "it's in your hands" at our last trip to Senegal. They painted their thoughts about the relationship to the hospital. This was initiated to give them a feeling of partnership and responsibility for each other.

The result were 18 small pieces of art which we sold to interested guests. The profit will proceed directly to the project again.

There are still some pictures left. If you are interested please contact Marco at marco@roomdivision.com.

Thanks to ALL!

G r u ß b o t s c h a f t

des Regierenden Bürgermeisters von Berlin, Klaus Wowereit,
für die „Naidlive“ Benefiz-Party zugunsten des SAGE-Hospitals
in Warang am 14. Dezember 2005 im SAGE-Club Berlin





Liebe Mitglieder des SAGE-Hospital e.V.,
liebe Gäste des SAGE-Clubs Berlin,

zum vierten Mal lädt der Club heute zu einer Benefiz-Party für das SAGE-Hospitals in Warang. Ich freue mich über dieses Zeichen der Solidarität und danke allen, die es möglich gemacht haben: den zehn Bands, den 17 DJs, den Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern des SAGE-Berlin und Ihnen allen, die Sie diese Nacht hier verbringen. Unter dem Motto „Naidlive“ leisten Sie ein wichtiges Stück Afrika-Hilfe.

Es ist ein schönes Zeichen, dass der SAGE-Club Verantwortung für eine Einrichtung auf einem anderen Erdteil übernimmt, und es ist ebenso bemerkenswert, dass sich die Gäste des Clubs, die Party- und Disco-Freunde diesem Anliegen gleichermaßen verpflichtet fühlen.

Sie alle dürfen stolz auf das Geleistete sein, denn was in den vergangenen zwei Jahren in Warang entstanden ist, sucht seinesgleichen. Aus einer verfallenen Dorfarztpraxis wurde ein richtiges Krankenhaus mit einer Ärztin, mit Krankenschwestern und Pflegern, mit einer Geburtsstadion und einer Apotheke. 700 Patienten werden monatlich ambulant betreut, 2.000 fanden bislang stationäre Aufnahme, 14 Kinder erblickten in dem Haus das Licht der Welt.

Organisiert und verantwortet wird das vom SAGE-Hospital e.V., einem „Kind“ unseres Berliner Clubs. Ich möchte allen herzlich für ihr großes Engagement danken: jenen, die die Arbeit leisten, ebenso wie all denen, die als Förderer oder Spender ihren Beitrag zum Erfolg beitragen, und natürlich auch den Club-Besuchern. Sie tanzen für einen guten Zweck...

Was besonders beeindruckt ist, dass das Krankenhaus in Warang sich mehr und mehr zu einem Zentrum profiliert, welches weit über die medizinische Versorgung hinaus in den Ort hinein ausstrahlt. Ein Fußballteam wird unterstützt, Schwimmunterricht für die Kinder der Fischer wird erteilt, ein Spielplatz entstand auf dem Krankenhausgelände. Dazu kann man nur sagen: Respekt und weiter so!

In diesem Sinne wünsche ich der heutigen Veranstaltung einen vollen Erfolg und Ihnen allen einen tollen Abend im Dienste einer guten Sache.

Mit herzlichen Grüßen

Klaus Wowereit

For this year's charity dinner we are happy to announce a musical reading with Ben Becker in Sage Restaurant. For the execution of the evening event we are now looking for supporters from gastronomy, technics, moderation. We are now also working on presesentation material as well as PR.

After 7 years the old website was closed down to make room for a new system which now gives users the possibility to inform themselves in greater detail. Many articles have been extended with photo series and video footage. The webpage has been created in co-operation with diephotodesigner.de (Concept and Design) and ./bin/branko.de (Programming). Many thanks to Stefanie Eisenhuth who helped us with proof reading and corrections.

As a reason of this year's worldwide economic crisis and the depressive athmosphere we were not able to organise a charity event for 2009. We are looking forward to a better 2010 and a continuation
of our charity event series. Still the hospital is running normally as the daily business is warranted through clever planning and optimal use of financial ressources.

The project is still being controlled in and from Berlin.

On the occasion of its 11th birthday Sage Club Berlin organised a tombola for the hospital. Prizes such as vourchers for concerts, hotel stays, lifestyle products, etc made guests spend more than 1,000 Euros. We'd like to thank all our sponsors and guests.

We are preparing this year’s delivery of essential drugs and consumer goods to the hospital. We are also in conversation with the German and Senegalese embassy about transport and import of relief supplies. Necessary repairs are planned as well as the compilation of tools and construction materials which will be transported by Lufthansa Cargo this October.

The Berlin optician Schmiedeke Brillen donated 70 pairs of glasses to Sage Hospital. The specs will be handed out to patients during eyesight tests in Warang in the upcoming months.

After the successful opening of our skateboard exhibition "the helping hounds of hell" at Neurotitan Gallery in Berlin we would like to thank all our guests for the great evening.

We would also like to thank everybody who has worked voluntarily during the last 6 months to make this project happen.

For the charity exhibition event "the helping hounds of hell" internationally renowned artists designed 100 skateboard which will be shown at two exhibtinos in Berlin and Hamburg. The sales profit will be donated to the hospital.

The project was initiated by the design "groupe de Jour" from Berlin. Together with the Hamburg gallery “Heliumcowboy Artspace” they curated and researched artists for the project. Photo shooting for the printed catalogue as well as event organisation was done by diephotodesigner.de.

The Otto-Sinfoniker gave a charity concert in the great hall of the Rote Rathaus in Berlin, after that there was a concert performed by Young Voices Brandenburg in the location’s Wappensaal.

The revenue of 1,000 Euros of the 2nd “Royal Benzinger Golfturnier” taking place in Prenden’s golf club close to Berlin has been donated to the Sage Hospital society. We’d like to thank the initiators Martin Propp und Matthias Steur for this as well as for their effort and work.

More information about the turnier can be found online at www.royal-benzinger.de

The Zurich children’s clinic Hirslanden donates a big amount of medical equipment to Sage Hospital such as 2 birth beds, 3 CTGS, examination tables, desinfection liquid dispensers, heat lamps, etc.

See tv spot "Goldelse" by TV Berlin for details.

The main stage of 2006’s Fete de la Musique is dedicated to Sage Hospital. Every performing artist and every member of staff is working voluntarily. The entire profit of the evening is donated to the
hospital.

Kobalt’s production team travels to Waran where journalist Jobst Knigge and cameraman Ingo Brunner produce a documentation for theTV channel arte.

The arte reportage can be watched online in “spots”.
