What motivates me a lot is the experience from my previous travels abroad and the fact that many countries desperately need help.

|
|
Motivation:
I would like to help people who have neither money nor the means to do such a project so that quality of life improves and their daily life becomes easier. With the toilets and wash facilities we can contribute to improving hygiene conditions for these people, which will also prevent illness in the long-term and ultimately save lives.

Apprenticed as:
Industrial mechanic
Training site:
Geberit GmbH

|
|
Motivation:
I already have experience with aid projects, though not yet in a developing country. Plus, I have worked on construction sites – my family has its own business in the skilled trades. So I think I am bringing the right technical skills to the project. I am also interested in dealing with unknowns and I am happy to contribute through my commitment.

|
Motivation:
This is an opportunity to help people who live in poverty in a real and direct way and at the same time get to know a new world. I am used to working a lot and in a skilled trade as we also run an agricultural business at home. Two years ago I renovated a room in our over 100-year-old house all on my own.

Motivation:
Last summer I participated in an aid project in Mongolia. This has given me an idea of what to expect in India, and it also won't be the first time where I am confronted with poverty. I look forward to getting to know this country, further educate myself and make new experiences in dealing with people.

Training site:

|
|
Motivation:
Unlike a money donation, this type of help lets you see the final product, and you can be sure that the people there are really getting something. I like to learn new things and get involved in a good cause. I will cope with the fact that many people in India live at or below the subsistence level by treating them with dignity and respect.

Supervises apprentices in India
|
|
Motivation:
My various humanitarian assignments in developing countries have made me realize how good we have it here. To help poor people is something I am interested in personally, especially through Geberit's competence with water and sanitary technology. I am especially happy that Geberit apprentices have the opportunity to broaden their personal and professional horizons. I am sure that these young people will come home with an experience from which they will benefit throughout their whole lives.

|
Motivation:
It fills me with pride and joy to be able to collaborate on such an interesting and socially helpful project. I am convinced that after our trip, we will have the chance to look at things differently and use other criteria to evaluate things. The fact that we are doing the job with our apprentices as well as support from local plumbers will most certainly produce a wonderful and exciting mix.

Occupation:

Project manager in India
|
|
Motivation:
It is interesting to start with a basic need and then to plan and carry out a construction project that results in a restroom facility and the remodeling of a hospital. The big challenge is to order all the materials and tools so that we have everything we need to get the job done.
I am happy that our apprentices have the chance to do an installation with Geberit products. The sanitary installations will certainly help to improve hygiene conditions at the school and especially at the hospital. And I am happy to return to a familiar world as I have worked in this culture for many years.
