Description
My name is Robert Hanschke and currently I work as a biology and chemistry teacher at a grammar school in Cottbus/Germany. I studied biology in at the University of Dresden and Forensic Science and Engineering at the University of Cottbus, which I have completed with a Master’s degree. Furthermore, I have some research experience in behavioral observations in local zoos.
My wife studied forestry science in Dresden and works as an independent expert for private and public clients in eastern Germany.
We both speak fluent English and have a wide range of experience in field work.
We plan to go to a foreign country in the August of 2022 for 6-12 month, together with our 3 children (0, 6 and 10 yrs. old).
Our goal is it to work, help and learn on the ground and experience life in another country for a while. We are going to start in Namibia, to help building up a farm for tourism. Because of our tourist visa we need to leave Namibia in the beginning of December. therefor we want to come to South Africa for another 3 month.
We would be glad if we could be of any assistance. Last but not least we would appreciate greatly any support with the local accommodation.
In case you have some recommendations fitting our profile, or any knowledge of other projects or people that might be interested in our qualifications, I'd be grateful to hear from you and I´d be happy to sent you our CVs if you like.
For further questions feel free to contact me via eMail.
