The Genesis and the role of Christof Hinckel

It all started in a pub in Essen in the December of 2009. After a long tête-à-tête about God and the universe, I was inspired by an idea from Akuma Saningong and I almost cursed myself, why I hadn’t come to it before. Out of a sudden, I had a clear view on how we could come up with a product generated by the stipendiaries themselves, which shall serve as an extra source of revenue for the association.

Based on my experience as a music componist and studio work, I wanted to try something new by applying my knowledge and capabilities to the benefit of a charitable project that will be of immediate help to the stipendiaries. With this in mind, the idea of a children and youth’s choir was born. Their audio and visual display will call for attention about their plight in the world at large. Under the supervision of seasoned choir instructors, local Cameroonian and African songs shall be rehearsed and with the help of technical assistance from my part they will be recorded. The profits of the sale of the audio and videotapings on CDs, DVDs and as mp3/4 downloads will come to the good of the association, from which more stipendiaries could be supported. Besides, my self-made compositions with the recorded material further stimulated my urge for this project.  As a result, after 6 months of careful consideration and counseling the project was finally initiated.

Regards,

Christof Hinckel
