Lately Leki decided to accomplish one of her father's dreams: the building of a hospital in his natal village of Malambu in Congo. Via Nanda, the non-profit-making organization she has founded, and under the name "Bouwen aan leven" ("building life") several initiatives - such as the single "Peculiar Places" - have been taken since 2010 to help raise funds, hoping that the hospital will be operational towards the end of 2013.^[1] On 14 May 2012 she released "Get Over", the first single from her 2012 album The Journey.
