Johannes Stangenberg-Haverkamp came to the Children’s Village in 2017 intending a much shorter stay and eventually ended up staying 8 months. He came to the Children’s Village to volunteer his services as an accountant but soon found that there was more to the task than he had anticipated! He became, and still is, such a vital cog in the wheel and became the ‘go to’ person for absolutely everything in a multi-faceted role.
Many, many thanks, Johannes, for extending your stay in the Children’s Village, and continuing to be such a support to the NGO both in your accountant’s role and as a friend. As we say farewell, we wish you every success with your plans and are so grateful that you are still having an input even from a distance. Asante sana!
