Dear host,

I have a very great interest in joining your volunteering project from the middle of July until the middle of September.

To tell you a bit about me:
I'm 19 years old and have graduated high school last year. Since then I have been traveling around and have been doing an internship in a psychiatric clinic.

During my school time I have been a part of the school speaker team and the school board and leader of the amnesty international youth group of our school. I have been tutoring younger kids in English, have been a godmother to 5th graders and have given German "lessons" for refugees. In addition to this I love to play football, do athletics and every other kind of sport.

I unfortunately do not have any experience with workaway yet, but I am very open to learn new skills and to help you where ever I am needed in the project.

But first of all I wanted to ask if you can need my help in the psychiatric sector in a clinic or something. I surely am no professional, but I have already done two internships in psychiatric clinics, visited a training for trauma prevention and read very much about mental illnesses. If I can help on a ward somewhere by basic work I would be very thankful.

I would be very happy about hearing from you! The work you describe on this website sounds very impressing.

Best regards and thank you in advance
Hannah Stark

Hey Anna, 

Sorry for disturbing you again. 

I just wanted to ask you if you can tell me by experience how long the DAUGHTERS OF OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP need for answering normally and if you know more about the psychiatric project they are working on. Is it a psychiatry they have built up or are working on, are they offering psychological help in their church for people in need or how do I have to imagine their project? 

And if it's not going to be possible that I volunteer at their NGO, do you have another NGO, who I can contact for volunteering in a psychiatric clinic? 
Sorry for asking you for help again, you are just the only person I know who I can ask for help in this case because finding out more in the internet is very difficult and I would love to book my flight this weekend, but have to know first which airport I should arrive on for my volunteering. 

Best regards and thank you!
Hannah
