Introducing the team

Hey everybody,

It’s coming so close now, our trip to Kosova! I’m so happy to join the summer team for the next few weeks!

At first I will tell something about myself. My name is Henri Zwarts, I’m 21 years old and I’m living in Nijmegen (the Netherlands) for all my life. I’m studying there to be a paramedic or to work on development projects, in the local hospitals. In Nijmegen, I’m also member of the local reformed church. I feel very happy in that community.
I have a major hobby, soccer. I like to watch it, like also other kinds of sports, but most of all to play it myself. I’m looking forward to compete with the boys in Kosova :-)

I got to know about the project in Kosova by Marjan (team member last year) and Rianne (team member last year and ECM recruiter in the Netherlands). They showed me pictures from last year, and told me very enthusiastically how cool it was to be involved in this project! I was immediately enthusiastic and asked them if I could join the team next year.

And well, here I am. I’m looking so much forward to meet the other team members from Ireland, the people in Peja, Qyshk and the Roma community and so on.
If it was up to me, I’d catch the plane tomorrow!

Love, Henri
