Hi everyone, or as we say in Hamburg "Moin Moin".
My name is Miriam, I am 19 years old and from Hamburg in Germany. I just
graduated High School and I am very excited to be volunteering here in Chiang
Mai for 6 months. It has always been a dream of mine to come to Thailand and I
am so glad that I have the chance to be here until February!
I am a very active person and enjoy sports, cooking and
spending time with my family and friends.
During my time here I will be volunteering at Wildflower
Home, which is a shelter for young mothers and their children that come from
crisis situations. As a volunteer there I will be helping with the kids in the
daycare, gardening, farming, organizing or where ever a helping hand is needed.
During my first week, the other volunteers and I inventoried all the items that
are handmade by the mothers and sold on our website. I was really surprised of
how many beautiful bags, jewelry and other things we had in the storage room.
So far, my highlight was cooking pasta with tomato sauce
from a huge donation of tomatoes for all the mothers and kids last Wednesday!
It was so much fun to cook with the other volunteers and the mothers!
Wildflower Home is such a beautiful place and everyone there
is super nice and welcoming. Every morning I am excited what the day will
bring. What I like best about my work is that there is always something to do
and that it is something different every day!
I am so excited for the time ahead and I am sure I will
learn and grow so much from the experiences I make here.
