Hello, I'm Joep Toebes and I live in Best. My parents are seperated, my mom has a girlfriend but my father doesn't. I have 2 older brothers and one little sister; Teun, Giel & Lieve.
I don't have very special talents. Nevertheless I can talk really fluent and convince people quite easily. I'm happy and really polite to everyone. I work at the ''Worldburger'' in Best, I really like it because I need to serve the food most of the time. This is great because I serve the food with a smile on my face so everyone gets happy and likes the dinner!
I think that the trip is going to be an unbelievable experience, it really is once in a life time. When I saw the e-mail that we had the opportunity to go to Kenya, I immediately replied that I wanted to join. I think that I'm going to be inspired by all those children who are happy with only a few possessions. This might lead to that I get even more grateful for all the things I have. I can't wait to see all the happy faces and to help everyone.
This is also one of the main reasons that I want to go along. It feels good to do something good for the people who don't have a lot of stuff. Most of the time they only have the basic necessities and don't have luxury products such as a car and a phone. One of the other reasons that I want to go to Kenya with school is that we go on the trip with the ''Amara foundation'', we can go to places which I otherwise would probably not have seen in my life. I'll probably go to New York once in my life, at least I hope so ( this was the other trip we were able to choose).
I look forward to this trip and can't wait!
