As we have reported earlier about our partnership with
DIZ, Frnakfurt, Germany which works with weltwarts program of Government of
Germany, we have been hosting German volunteers for the past two years and now
it got even more exciting.
Earlier this year, DIZ had informed its Indian
partners (like the Hope House) to identify Indian volunteers that would be
interested to serve in Germany for anywhere between 9 – 12 months.

We were excited about this opportunity so we thought
of giving it a shot. We decided to
advertise on our facebook page and below is the sample of what we posted on
April 11th.

We had a lot of inquiries and many have applied also
but none could have been a better fit than Ms. Mansi Sheth of Mumbai who was introduced to us through a mutual friend in Bangalore. I met her personally in the last week of
April in Mumbai, attended a DIZ organized training workshop in Nagpur in the
month of June and flown to Germany on July 4th, 2016. She is expected to be there for about 12
months.

It is such a coincidence that in a span of two days
(July 6th, 2016) Hope House had received a new set of volunteers
from Germany (Franziska and Karina) who will be with us for the next 10
months.

volunteers arrival on July 6th, 2016)
We requested all of them to
write a small blog about their activities in their respective countries to update
our Indian/ German friends and supporters.
So, if you’re interested to read of what they are saying, visit this
