Here is the first part of my translation from the link.
Interview with her Royal Highness the Princess of Hanover, speaking with Jacques Danois
Jacques Danois: Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Hanover, President of the AMADE, has travelled to Africa, which she visited from North Niger to the tip of South Africa. She wanted to see, she wanted to hear, she wanted to watch from up close the work of the AMADE on that continent, and she also wanted to find out for herself what African children were doing, what they were , and what they needed. Therefore what we listen to here are words about that safari of the heart, it is the report of a professional trip, focused on children.
Her Royal Highness: In face of such titanic work to be done, we sometimes feel that we are applying bandaids to a wooden leg. It is impossible to know if what is being done will be really useful in the long term, but I think that it is worth it for each smile it brings to the face of a child, for each child whose life we save, whom we lift from dire poverty, from injustice, from the horrendous lottery of life that we enter from birth. For one does not choose to be born in a country in a state of war, to lose one's parents, to lose one's set of references, not being able to get food, or be defended or protected....One does not choose this. Therefore I think that if we manage to save one, out of the millions who are in need, we have begun to accomplish our duty as human beings.
J.D. Did you get the impression that you were seeing Africa through the eyes of the children, or did you see it through the eyes of all of its population? Is it mostly the eyes of children which have opened the doors of Africa to you?
H.R.H. You can't isolate one thing from another: of course with the AMADE, we are an association which strives to come to the assistance, to fly to the aid of the children, but you must understand that children cannot be seen independently from their bond with their mothers. And when the mother is not there, you have to try to weave a cocoon again, to reconstruct warmth. I am thinking here, among other things, about war orphans or AIDS orphans. You need a protective structure for these children, and in order to warn and protect other children, you have to work from the top. Let's take the examples of climate disasters and desertification. How can you remedy that ? There, you are confronted with adult problems, and you try to resolve an injustice which strikes the children's parents. If you really want to do an effective job, you need to educate, nurture and create an environment which must be safe and viable for the family.
