New Interns Introduction
Nele: I'm Nele Krebber and I am 24 years old. I'm studying English, Economics and Biology at the University of Aachen to become a secondary teacher. I'm originally from a small village
in North Rhine-Westphalia. My hometown is called Straelen, which is located directly on the boarder of Netherlands. We often drive to the Dutch border to buy delicious vanilla pudding with chocolate sprinkles. I love traveling to foreign countries and getting to know different cultures and different people. Also, I really enjoy sports (especially handball, swimming + running), cooking, or spending time with friends. After my graduation (Abitur), I was in Australia for 7 months - it was amazing! I lived in a host family for that time and did a program called "Demipair". In the morning I went to an English school to complete the Cambridge Certificate and in the afternoon I looked after two young girls. I'm already very excited to join TCGIS and I'm really looking forward to making new experiences!
Bis bald, liebe Kinder und TCGIS!
We're still looking for 1 fall host-family and 2 back-up families! If you're interested in hosting an Amity intern, please fill out the online form here.

New Kinderstube Opening Hours / MPLS Carpooling Opportunity
As of September 2014, Kinderstube (German Immersion Preschool) opening hours at the St. Paul and Minneapolis location will change from 8:00am to 7:30am. With the earlier opening hours it will be possible for families to drop off first the younger sibling at Kinderstube and then the older sibling at TCGIS.
The Minneapolis Kinderstube location, Mayflower Church, 106 East Diamond Lake Road, would also be a great meeting point for Minneapolis families interested in carpooling. There is a huge parking lot in front of the church that would work very well for a carpooling set up. Please sign up here if you're interested in a Mayflower Church carpooling opportunity. |
