Responsibilities for Vision Hope
Long term development of Vision Hope
Public Relations
Installation of a wider foundation of volunteers
My Motivation:
“I love to get to know people: their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and their motivations. I want to understand how people in hard times have adapted, and the ideas they have developed on their own, and to understand how some people are forced to cope, by violence or by shortage. But even more than getting to know people, I love it when they better get to know themselves – when for the first time in their lives they are able to see their full potential. This is an unbelievable privilege.”

My Motivation:
“Since my childhood, I have been interested in possibilities to support people who live in poverty and areas of conflict. Over the years, my enthusiasm for humanitarian aid has increased. For me, it’s important to support and promote people to an independent, self-determined life. Even when our work is just a drop in the ocean, it’s an investment in the future of many people, to encourage them and to enable changes. I want to be a part of it.”

My Motivation:
“There is hope in this world – even for the Middle East. The projects of Vision Hope give people their hope back. Committed volunteers work together with local partners equally. The ability to live fully is regained and adapted to the culture in a sustainable way. What could be better than supporting this?”

Responsibilities for Vision Hope:
Public Relations
Representative for association in Baden-Württemberg
Strategic Development
My Motivation:
“Hope – Vision Hope – that’s the name of our organisation. Hope motivates us. Hope is a positive expectation of something we long for or something we wish for in the future. The opposite of hope is desperation. We can get desperate by seeing and hearing the pictures and events taking place in the world. But in the many places where Vision Hope operates, there arises hope. And where even a small glimmer of hope is increased in daily life, desperation has to leave.”
