Simon Reiners
* 1990 in Aachen, where he still lives. He attended Holy Spirit School and graduated in June 2010.
After school he does not really know what he wants to study and therefore wants to take the experience of the CARAVAN project as a support for his decision and also to do something useful.
Since he was six years old he is voluntary engaged in a scout group which brought him to experience how fulfilling the work with people can be and how necessary the service to the poor and needy is.
By luck he heard about CARAVAN and he directly knew that his participation is the logical further step in his spotted direction of helping.
Simon is also interested in sports and music. He enjoys playing football and the piano in his free time.
During holidays he loves travelling and learning about other people and cultures and now he is looking forward to getting in touch with Lebanon.

Her gap year will be taking part in the CARAVAN. Caring about people with disabilities is something she experienced during the two times she went to Lourdes with the Order of Malta. She is looking forward to the CRAVAN because it will bring her into contact with a completely different culture whilst she can also help children or young people less fortunate than she is.
Next year she wants to start a diplomatic career. She will get an insight into Arabic countries and into the language which is an advantage and will possibly show her whether her choice of career is correct.

She is very much looking forward to discovering the Arabic culture and learning the lebanese language. She is of the opinion that intercultural communication can only be done by showing real interest, living in the country and understanding the other culture.
In her pastime she enjoys dancing, singing, playing music, skiing and laughing with friends.
Ann Sophie is very excited about her time in Lebanon with her companions and about serving in Deir el Salib.
Eoin O'Connor
is from the west of Ireland and was born in 1992. He is currently at boarding school and after his exams he hopes to take a Gap Year before going to university. He wants to be on the Caravan Team as he feels it would give him the perfect opportunity to do something worthwhile with his year out. The Caravan Project would offer him the chance to help others and not just himself (for a change)! After the Gap Year he hopes to study history at Trinity College Dublin.
His hobbies include rugby, cricket, shooting and fishing. Rugby is his favorite sport and he plays on the school team. For him it is the physicality of the sport but also the camaraderie involved in it, which appeals to him.
Nicholas Wingfield Digby
* 4. 11. 1987. I have always lived in Dorset (south west England). I went to Harrow School in London and then, without a ‘gap year’, to university at Oxford where I have studied Classics for the past four years. I have just taken my ‘Finals’ exams and am looking forward to starting on the Caravan Project after a much needed month’s break.
I enjoy learning new languages, and improving those which I already (vaguely) know. French and German are old favourites (though both are severely out of practice – I would be grateful for some help with the German!) and I look forward greatly to learning some Arabic out in Lebanon.
I love playing and listening to music: I play the piano and double bass and I sing. My music tastes are (I’m afraid) old-fashioned and I prefer classical music on the whole. Reading, travelling in Europe, skiing and tennis are among my favourite pastimes.
