Hello! We are Yannik and Amelie, both 19 years old and from Austria. Altogether, we are spending 10 months here at this project through the organization “Hilfe die ankommt.” We have already been here since mid-August. Our tasks and areas of work are very diverse:
I (Yannik) completed five years at a technical high school (HTL) specializing in computer science and decided rather spontaneously to volunteer abroad – but that doesn’t make this experience any less important to me. Here, I have the opportunity to help out in a practical way and to support the project with the skills from my training.
I am Amelie, and after many conversations and prayers, I decided to come to this placement. After graduating from the College of Elementary Education (BafEP), I can now apply and share my knowledge and experience as an early childhood educator in the Day Care Center. That is also where my main area of responsibility lies, and where I can put my pedagogical skills into practice
