There is nothing that does not or has not already existed; but there are things that are frequent because they are carried out frequently (graffiti in university library).
The first encounter with people in a traditional Punjabi village in Pakistan took place in the autumn of 1990 at the invitation of a former student. There are over twenty thousand such villages in the densely populated Punjab province of Pakistan. To put it generally, the first impression was the following: a poor village, a poor region with no roads, no sewers, no schools, no electricity, no toilets. Shooting a documentary film, setting up a public health service, establishing an NGO, building an NGO-financed school were the first measures towards creating a village development project, which was followed from 1993 on by projects that generated income for the rural population. Ten years of Pakistani-German co-operation at NGO level have provided a clear view and have increasingly shown that Pakistan is a rich country with traditional, cultural, natural and social resources.

Thatta Kedona Market of Continents
Friday, June 7, 2013
Thatta Kedona bazaars anywhere in the world create an ambience that shows part of Pakistan; its handmade cultural toys, souvenirs and greeting cards. That is why they are success with people who value handicrafts and cultural artifacts.
This year many successful bazaars were organized in Leipzig, Vienna, Stuttgart, Hamburg, and in the Ethnological Museum. With bazaar session 2012 is over, this Market of Continents have left some indelible memories in the mind of volunteers who gathered there reliving their experiences they have had in Thatta Ghulamka Dheroka (aka Dolls Village) and also in the minds of those who visited. Here are some images from different volunteers (Stephanie Walter, Renate Perner, Lutz,LiLoLorenz, Nadine) with Dr. Senta Siller in different bazaars.
