Kyrstin Scharninghausen died in a motor vehicle accident in Namibia in 1996. Since that time her mother Leonora (Babe) Van Hook has kept her memory alive by establishing the Salamatu Foundation that continues to support educational projects in Namibia.

Salamatou’s rainbow photo is on my wall and I miss her everyday.
May Kyrstin be forever remembered for the good works she did in Namibia and in her home and community. May her soul rest in peace while she watches over us from above.
