After graduating from high school, I travelled for two years and worked with children in an orphanage in Ethiopia, among other places. This experience had a great impact on me and I really wanted to do something good from Germany. Through a mutual friend of Lea’s and mine, I came across ULT and quickly contacted her. Since then, I have been part of the team and wouldn’t want to miss it, especially the work on site.

My favourite subjects at school were business studies and sports. I always liked sports because it wasn’t a typical school subject. Business studies simply interested me a lot at the time.

Like Lea, I hated English because I’m not very talented in languages and I simply didn’t enjoy it at school. It wasn’t until I travelled abroad that I made friends with the English language.

That is a very good question. I hope that in five years our school will be run sustainably and we will be able to provide quality education to all our children.  

I also hope that in five years we will have many more projects like our food program or the school building and that we will continue to develop.

My mum gave me a lunch box to take to school every day until I graduated from high school. My friends were always very jealous of the delicious sandwiches, carrot strips, cucumber slices etc., so they always wanted some. After a while I got my lunch in a box with “Annika’s Box” engraved on it. So it was unmistakably clear who the food was for. 😀
