My favourite subjects were English and French because I love learning new languages. I also like travelling and find it really nice to be able to communicate in the language of the country or at least understand a few words. Chemistry and physics, on the other hand, were subjects that I didn’t enjoy at all and I was never really good at either.

In five years, I see our completed ULT school in Nairobi and many children being taught there. In addition to the school sponsorships, which will have increased significantly by then, we will have successfully established the START into LIFE programme and will therefore also be providing valuable support on the path to working life after leaving school. I hope that our team continues to grow and that we have realised many great and exciting projects here in Germany and are planning more. And that our documentary has been viewed by many people and has left a lasting impression.

When I was in the third grade, we went to the school camp in the Black Forest. Every day there we went on an excursion into nature. One day we hiked to a lake and were supposed to explore a nature trail there in small groups, for which we were given two hours. The problem with the whole thing, however, was that my two friends and I didn’t have a watch with us. After a while, we wondered why we hadn’t met anyone and the time seemed a bit long in general. But as we had got lost and couldn’t find our way back and didn’t have a mobile phone, we decided to wait where we were. After a while, our teacher desperately found us in the middle of the forest and told us that we should have been back half an hour ago, but of course we had no idea, with no watch or direction.
