Complimenten aan Jobortunity
Ingrid Eefting, voormalig lodge manager Moivaro KIA Lodge in Arusha, over Jobortunity:
“Mijn man en ik hebben een 1,5 jaar een Lodge gemanaged in Tanzania en zijn hierdoor in contact gekomen met Jobortunity. We hebben enkele leerlingen van de organisatie gehad in de Lodge en waren altijd enthousiast. Ze steken met kop en schouders uit vergeleken met leerlingen van de reguliere scholen in de omgeving. Je merkt dat ze een training hebben gehad , ze zijn gedreven om te leren, gastgericht en gemotiveerd. Wij hadden in die periode het liefst trainees van alleen maar Jobortunity, maar helaas was dit niet altijd mogelijk. Wat ik wil zeggen is dat we jullie als organisatie alleen maar complimenten kunnen geven en dat jullie vooral zo door moeten gaan. Met name in Afrika, waar kinderen al zo weinig kansen krijgen. Met vriendelijke groet, Ingrid Eefting.” (April 2012)
