Where there are Giraffes there is Hope, Ann Medlock
Giraffe-Heroes are people who have the courage to swim against the currents, where and when these currents are violating the rule of human being; they “stick their neck out” to uphold this very rule for the common good.
GHF has been established by Karl Amadé and a team of friends in November 2017 at Basel, Switzerland. Amadé, a Sinologist by education, has spent his life as an independent entrepreneur in Asia and Europe with a lasting interest in the issues of the mind as well as regeneration of a healthy environment. His encounter and friendship with John Graham and Ann Medlock (www.giraffe.org) has brought about the idea for a Giraffe Heroes Foundation. Amadé understands his role as that of a facilitator: those people attracted by the idea of the Giraffe Heroes Project have to be brought together, interactive platforms need to be formed and impact has to be created. Please join! (Switzerland – European Union/Worldwide)

These are two people who came to Germany from Australia and America, or better, from Taiwan where they met, fell in love and started to make their music some ten years ago.

Katharina Lehmann
Katharina Lehmann put her job on the line for the sake of the truth - and lost. As a psychologist, Dr. phil. with her own practice and a permanent position on the Zurich city police force, she could truly have had a quiet life. However, Katharina was not willing to compromise on the truth, stepped out of her comfort zone and put her employment and public reputation on the line.
Lut Wouters and Willy Vandamme
Can you imagine entering a psychiatric hospital on a voluntary base and being compulsory hospitalized, isolated and restrained several hours later. It happened to Lieve, the daughter of Willy Vandamme (76) and Lut Wouters (70)
Pia Klemp and the crew of the M.V.Louise Michelle
She is 30 meters long and capable of over 28 knots, agile, wears pink and white, runs in a flat hierarchy and is a vegan. She flies a German flag and has a tattoo: a girl in a life vest holding a heart-shaped safety buoy. The M.V. Louise Michel. Smaller but considerably faster than other NGO rescue vessels. Its crew is made up of European activists with long experience in search and rescue operations and is captained by German human rights activist Pia Klemp, who has also captained other such rescue vessels.

, je risque très fort de refaire une autre sortie et la prochaine sortie sera différente. Je n’ai pas de peur…. On le sent! C'est dans l'air, les gens se battent de tous les secteurs pour ouvertement dire: 'on ne veut plus de ces absurdités! On reconnait qu'il y a une nécessité de mesures sanitaires, mais de grace... soyez justes! (Quoted from “Un Musicien se Révolte”

... I don’t know what it is exactly, but I’m not going to accept all this disease and war, hungry children, cruelty to animals. I’m not going to accept any of it. Exploitation, insensitivity, is that the goal of humanity? Is this what we are teaching our children at school? ....

André Wermelinger
André is of an inquisitive character. He wants to know what makes the difference, the difference between truth and fake and what it is what keeps things going – people, nature, the world at large.
Dimi Dumortier
Dimi Dumortier (born 1966 in Brecht, Belgium) has many 'hats': the artist, the activist, the film maker, the social worker/psychologist, the musician and, yes, the actor.
Mohammed el Gharani
He never could be forced to confess an alleged Al-Qaida membership, neither by the Pakistanis directly after imprisonment, nor by the Americans in Afghanistan where he was held for two months nor by the henchmen of Guantanamo over a period of seven years.
Pia Schmid
While looking for some exquisite silk in down town Bern we accidentally got attracted by a little shop. When we opened the door we were received by a small, tender woman with shining eyes.
