Meet Hendrik

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 :)
