I am 19 years old and was a volunteer for 3 months at steps for children in Namibia. My assignment lasted from 7 January 2020 to 5 April 2020. The project I was involved in is located in Okakarara, a small town near the Waterberg.<\/p>\n<p>I worked there together with two annual volunteers and another volunteer who was also in the project for three months. The project in Okakarara is very diverse, consisting of a kindergarten, a cr\u00e8che, a pre-school, an afternoon care centre and a soup kitchen. We split up accordingly and worked together with the teachers and nursery school teachers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A variety of tasks had to be completed, such as looking after the toddlers, looking after the older children's homework, but also practical activities. You are rewarded every day by the children's reactions. I really enjoyed the work, also with everyone who worked with me on the project. Unfortunately, I had to leave early due to the coronavirus crisis, but I hope to visit the project again as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stepsforchildren.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vincent-Rothe-3-Mon-2020-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stepsforchildren.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vincent-Rothe-3-Mon-2020-4.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.stepsforchildren.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vincent-Rothe-3-Mon-2020-4-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.stepsforchildren.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vincent-Rothe-3-Mon-2020-4-240x180.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.stepsforchildren.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vincent-Rothe-3-Mon-2020-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stepsforchildren.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vincent-Rothe-3-Mon-2020-4-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stepsforchildren.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vincent-Rothe-3-Mon-2020-4-1320x990.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption>Lots of hustle and bustle on the seesaw!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"405\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stepsforchildren.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vincent-Rothe-3-Mon-2020-3-405x540.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stepsforchildren.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vincent-Rothe-3-Mon-2020-3-405x540.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.stepsforchildren.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vincent-Rothe-3-Mon-2020-3-135x180.jpg 135w, https:\/\/www.stepsforchildren.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Vincent-Rothe-3-Mon-2020-3.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><figcaption>Vincent always a partner for learning and playing fun<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Dear Vincent, on behalf of the steps children, we thank you very much for your commitment, which had to end too soon, and we look forward to it, <\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">when you visit our projects again!<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mein Name ist Vincent Rothe.
