Eine Reise zurück in den Dschungel, zurück ins Leben: Nachdem uns Sabine Kuegler in der vorherigen Folge davon berichtete, wie sie als Kind deutscher Forscher im Dschungel von West Papua aufwuchs und schließlich mit 17 Jahren in ein Schweizer Internat zog, erzählt sie uns in dieser Folge des Weltwach Podcast davon, wie sie schwer erkrankte und als letzte Hoffnung in den Dschungel zurückkehrte, um womöglich etwas über die unbekannte Krankheit herauszufinden und hoffentlich ein Heilmittel zu finden. Eine Geschichte über die Heilkraft der Natur, über Identität, Kultur und das Leben.Um diese Reise geht es auch in Sabines aktuellem Buch “Ich schwimme nicht mehr da, wo die Krokodile sind”.Redaktion und Postproduktion: Janna OlsonDieser Podcast wird auch durch unsere Hörerschaft ermöglicht.

Wie ist es, mitten im Dschungel West Papuas mit einem bis dahin unentdeckten Clan, dem Clan der Fayu, aufzuwachsen? Als kleines blondes Mädchen das Jagen zu trainieren? Und was bedeutet es, wirklich eins zu werden mit der Natur? Diese Fragen kann uns Sabine Kuegler beantworten, denn als Tochter zweier deutscher Forscher wurde sie in Nepal geboren und wuchs ab dem Alter von fünf Jahren im Dschungel von West Papua mit jenen Fayu auf. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über ihr Leben in diesem Clan mit und inmitten der Natur, über die Sprache des Dschungels und das Einswerden mit ihm. Dazu schreibt sie in ihrem Bestseller “Dschungelkind”: “Ich sollte lernen, ohne meine Augen zu sehen, ohne meine Nase zu riechen, ohne meine Ohren zu hören, und ich sollte alle meine Gedanken anhalten.” Unser Gespräch, das sich über zwei Folgen erstreckt, geht aber auch weit darüber hinaus und behandelt Themen wie Identität und Kulturschock, und das Wechseln zwischen den Welten.

Aprilia Seseray is a super smart auditor who volunteers at the West Papua office in Docklands. She was born among mountains, lakes and forest fruits and then at some stage she moved to Yogyakarta, Indonesia, for studies. It was a totally different culture, different language and different food from her homeland. Aprilia was bullied every single day throughout high school, but she succeeded despite the odds, and now has a Masters of Auditing from Monash. It was fascinating to hear her story. Thank-you for joining us this week, Aprilia.
