My name is Marie, right now I'm 17 years old, and I live right in the middle of Germany. I'm vegetarian, and animal lover. Currently, I'm studying to graduate the german 'Gymnasium' (highest school form). In two years time I hope to be in either Asia or Africa to work as a part of a volunteering program that helps to rescue, save and protect threatened elephants. I love reading, and photography, as well as producing little documentaries about topics I am passionate about. I hope to make a significant change in this world, however small or big it might be. I'd be grateful if you helped me reaching this goal.
