As treasurer of PLEA e.V. Göttingen I am pleased to be able to work for a non-profit association that takes care of the needs of rural Africa. From the beginning, I liked the developmental approach of PLEA e.V. The responsible position of a treasurer is to support the Managing Director and his administration. Moreover, it is my goal to promote the operational presence of PLEA e.V. in my country, the Republic of Guinea.

My age is 32 years. Besides being a plan commissioner for the finance and planning ministry of my home country I am studying currently at Fulda University in the Department of Economics, Department of International Management with a focus on controlling and international accounting. Study objective is the attainment of a Master's degree.

Legal advice: Lawyer Markus Essfeld

Even before establishing the association PLEA it was a matter of particular concern for me to support the current president of PLEA, Dr. Denis Coulibaly with legal advice and organizational assistance. It all started with a relief operation for the village school of Somadougou in 1991. As a church musician I had the opportunity to assist Dr. Coulibaly and his village school project. After the founding of PLEA, I was asked to act as an advocate for the association. For a couple of years I see myself in the role of volunteer legal advisor.

I earn my money as a lawyer in Cologne focusing on medical law, damage law and administrative law.

It's a great pleasure for me to support Dr. Coulibaly and his staff and to provide assistance for the further development of rural areas in Africa.
