Herbert Grönemeyer has been the ambassador of the Afghan Volunteer Women‘s Association since 2017, following the deceased author Roger Willemsen.
„It is an honour for me to support the Afghan Volunteer Women‘s Association as an ambassador. My support is motivated by my deep connection with Afghanistan as well as for my dear friend Roger Willemsen who supported and helped shape the association.”
His appeal to everyone: „The work of the Afghan Volunteer Women’s Association deserves our deepest respect and support. That’s what I stand for. Join us. Together we can change a lot for the better in Afghanistan!“
„We are overwhelmed and deeply grateful to have Herbert Grönemeyer as the new ambassador for our association“, says Nadia Nashir, the chairwoman of the Afghan Volunteer Women’s Association which celebrated its 25th anniversary in September 2017.
