Lotti Returning To Namibia In April
Helmut Lotti will be returning to Namibia again in April.
It will be another field trip with UNICEF.
Lotti says when UNICEF approached him in 1996 to become a goodwill ambassador, he jumped at the chance. "If you are in a position to do good for other people you should do it," he said. Being a goodwill ambassador allows him to help people who were not fortunate enough to be born in a rich country.

Helmut Lotti Concert In Namibia
Helmut Lotti is in Namibia. On February 11, 2006 he will entertain a select crowd at the Safari Hotel and Conference Centre in Windhoek with his "Best of Helmut Lotti" Concert. Backed by a twenty piece orchestra, he will sing for over two hours. Proceeds from the show will go to The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and support their HIV/AIDS prevention programme in Namibia. Lotti himself was appointed as a Belgian national ambassador for UNICEF in 2001, and is gladly giving of his time to champion this deserving cause. Leading Lodges of Africa, owned by the Van de Vijver family - themselves originally from Belgium - are organizing and supporting the concert as a goodwill gesture. - source AZ online.

No New Project Planned Until 2006
It has recently been reported that Helmut Lotti will not be making a new project in 2005. This will be the first year, in quite some time, that Lotti will not be doing so. He says that he wants his life to be more "relaxed". As many of his fans know, Lotti truly does deserve to enjoy some free time. His next project is expected to come around December of 2006.
Helmut's Future Plans
Helmut Lotti has decided to lighten his agenda for the future. He plans to spend more time at his home, on his bicycle, travelling, and with his daughter. He will not be doing as many television interviews nor will he be doing as many concerts. He says that he would like his schedule to be 6 concerts, one week free, 6 concerts, one week free and so on. He plans to do some concerts in Belgium in the days to come, open-air concerts in Germany and concerts in Canada in September. There is also the possibility that Helmut will be doing a few concerts in the U.S.A. as well, but this has yet to be confirmed. - source Helmut Lotti "Hot News"/Joke S.
