Caroli Dienst spent her first 23 years in South Africa. She gained a B.Sc. in Psychology and Zoology at the University of Cape Town during politically turbulent times in the apartheid system. Moving to Bavaria, she spent the following 30 years as a mother to 5 children, wife to a crazy entrepreneur, an artist in her own right as well as a keen supporter of various charities, e.g. Oroverde. Now her energy is focused on mediating in family affairs, the running of a Chinese/German Kindergarten, Cleec e.V., which she co-founded, as well as supplying food to another Kindergarten in the north of Munich, Hasenbergl, feeding 55 children 5 days a week.
