HEY THERE
How are you doing ?
(My experience is that every Canadian says this instead of "hi").
I am Hendrik. I´m 18 years old, I love meeting friends, listening to music, doing sports and what
else is there to say ? Oh yeah, I´m from Germany.
So as some of you might have guessed by now, I am the new
German volunteer, who helps Tania and Don with all the tasks
they have to do for the project in Liberia. As Greta before me, I
work with QYFC in the Liberia project and at some other places
like the Emmanuel baptist church and PECI here in Prince
Edwards County. I arrived on September 11th here in Canada.
My full name is actually Hendrik Nestvogel, I am from near
Frankfurt, which is localized in the middle of Germany, not the
one in Ontario (Frankford), even though they sound pretty much
the same. I have 2 siblings, one younger sister and one younger
brother. Back in Germany I did kick-boxing and just finished
school in June 2017.
I am here in Canada to serve God for a year
and to grow in faith and personality.
The poverty and horrible circumstances in Liberia, have never
really been present to me because
I never heard about Liberia and the great need of it´s people.
But after getting aware of it, I hope to help Tania and Don the
best that I can.
I got some experience on how that looks like, at our apple pie
fundraiser, where we made about 85 apple pies and sold them to
raise money for the school being build.
I tell you serving can be tiring and hard, for example when you
don´t want to go on pealing apples after you did it for hours, but
when you see what you accomplished with God´s help it´s
worth the afford.
So that was a little information about me, I hope you´ve enjoyed it!
Hendrik :)
