We are delighted to have had Anna with us for almost a month now as a committed support in the Hamburg steps office. Here, she introduces herself:
“Hello, my name is Anna Schnittker, and I started my internship at steps for children in mid-July 2016. Over the next two months, I will support the team with its diverse range of tasks.
Alongside my Master’s degree in History at the University of Hamburg, I would like to use the semester break to get to know the work of a foundation more closely. I chose steps for children because I wanted to learn more about the tasks and areas of work of an NGO. What impressed me most about steps were the many different projects and partnerships with local partners in Namibia.
I also find foundation work a great way to connect with my interest in history. It is exciting to learn more about the historical background of Africa and the local living conditions, and to help bring about change through my work at steps.
Now that I have been here for four weeks, I have made a good first impression and so far have done many different things. The tasks range from administrative work to event planning and research tasks. And along the way, of course, I have learned more about the great projects and volunteers in Namibia.
I am curious to see what lies ahead and look forward to being a member of the steps team over the next few weeks.”
Thank you for your great commitment!

I was particularly impressed by steps’ many different projects and collaborations with local partners in Namibia.
In addition, the Foundation’s work aligns well with my interest in history. It is exciting to learn more about Africa’s historical background and experience living conditions on the ground, while actively supporting steps in bringing about change through my work.
After being here for four weeks now, I have gained a good first impression and so far have done many different things. The tasks range from administrative work to event planning and research tasks. And incidentally, I have of course learned more about the great projects and volunteers in Namibia.
