History

Maurice is 20 years old when, after successfully graduating from high school in June 2017, he decides to use the time before any possible studies to spend time abroad. He wants to gather experiences, do something in the social field. Half a year later he has sufficient financial means and starts his journey on January 9th, 2018 towards Indonesia. He will do a social voluntary service at the "Bintang Timur School" in Nusa Dua on the island of Bali.

It is like arriving in another world and not comparable with Germany. Every phone call and the many photos reflect one thing: he is fascinated by the country and its people. Teaching the children inspires and exhilarates him at the same time. He also goes to school himself and starts learning the Indonesian language. He makes the decision to become a teacher so he can be able to help in exactly these kind sof places. He is very impressed by the children's thirst for knowledge. He also admires the modest and serene attitude of the people. The ability to peacefully coexist despite the different religions (Hinduism, Christianity, ...) fascinate him.

Maurice takes over the sponsorship for a girl. Deyva is financially supported by him. He often sits with her family in the afternoon or on weekends and studies with her. Four other sponsorships are arranged by him within his family. School and book fees are covered for the boys and girls.

Holidays are set to start at the beginning of June 2018. Maurice however would like to extend his stay and travel around for a bit. A few days before he is set to leave for Bangkok Maurice loses his life in a traffic accident at only 21 years of age. It was the happiest time of his life.
