Die Kindergruppe Amerlinghaus wird jedes Jahr von einer oder einem internationalen Freiwilligen unterstützt und bereichert. Wir kooperieren dazu im Rahmen eines EU-geförderten Programms mit dem Verein Grenzenlos. Hier stellen wir unsere aktuelle Freiwillige Evin vor.

My name is Evin, and I am volunteering at Kigru. I was born in 1998 and grew up in a mountain village in Muş (Turkiye) as one of ten children. My background has taught me the value of community, cooperation, and supporting one another. With this motivation, I came here as a volunteer.

I really enjoy supporting children in their emotional, social, and creative development. Creating a warm, safe, and trusting environment is very important to me, and I always do my best to help the children feel confident and curious.

I am still learning the language, and I have a language barrier, but I am improving every day. The team and the children are very supportive, and I feel very good and welcomed in the Kigru family.

Kigru is, for me, a clear example of how different educational methods can be applied and how they positively influence children’s growth.

As a volunteer, I enjoy taking part in daily activities such as music, art, and outdoor play. I believe these moments help children express themselves and discover their interests. I also value open and respectful cooperation with the team and families, as it is essential for the well-being of the children.
