The former volunteers recently returned to Germany after spending a year in Uganda. Shortly afterwards, the Msingi Soccer Academy welcomed two new volunteers: Niklas and Klaas, who are now actively supporting the team on site and bringing a breath of fresh air to the academyâs work.
Niklas deliberately chose to do voluntary service because he wanted to experience something completely different. In his free time, he does a lot of sport, and is particularly enthusiastic about running and football, but actually enjoys any kind of ball sport. If he were to describe himself in three words, they would be ârelaxed, funky and pragmaticâ â even if these characteristics only make up a small part of his personality. Together with his flatmate Klaas, he now works at the Msingi Soccer Academy, where he takes on tasks related to football training. In the coming weeks, the two will also help organise physical education classes at two different primary schools.
After graduating from high school, Klaas was also looking for a way to combine his desire for new experiences with his enthusiasm for sport. He heard about ASC GĂśttingen from his mother â and found exactly the right thing for this year. He is very much looking forward to passing on his passion for sport, as he often spends his free time on the football pitch himself, either as a player or as a coach. If he had to describe himself in three words, they would be âempathetic, loyal and fairâ. He also enjoys meeting up with friends and listening to music.
With Niklas and Klaas, the academy now has two committed, sports-loving and motivated volunteers on site who will enrich both the training work and everyday school life in the coming months.
