Anton Bartling
Intern from January – March 2023
Hi, my name is Anton. Hamburg, Germany, is my hometown where I was born, went to school, and where I met Jennifer and her family in 2018. Now I am 20 years old and live in the eastern part of Germany, in Leipzig, where I have just finished my volunteer work at an elderly home and a kindergarten.
My passions are music (I play saxophone and guitar) and photography/filming.
For as long as I can remember, I love to tell stories and to show others through my camera, how I see the world. I love to combine my enthusiasm for filming/photography with traveling. My biggest adventures so far were in Norway a dog sledding tour and being north of the Arctic Circle on the Lofoten Islands and seeing the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in China.
During a film documentary road trip, I accompanied a wheelchair user for one month through Russia which impressed me a lot.
I have never been to Afrika before and am very excited to discover the culture and the way of life in Togo. I am looking forward to assisting Jennifer from mid-January 2023 by supporting her social media activities. My goal is by reaching more people all over the world to learn about these great social projects of the Victoria Grace Foundation and by their support to give more children and young adults the chance to get education and for people with mental illness to get better so that they can take care of themselves and their families again.
