What motivated you to be lucky ambassador for the Children's Foundation years?
They asked me and I was immediately enthusiastic about the idea.
My second first name is "Felicitas". My parents have chosen this name for me because it means "Happiness". My childhood was wonderful, full of love, inspiration and support. But I am aware that not all children get the same possibilities.
As an individual I can not change much, but the aims of the foundation are also my wishes: that all children get the chance to grown to be strong and happy grownups.
You live in Berlin. Why are you getting involved in a Hamburg Foundation?
I was born in Hamburg and lived there until 2013. I was quite involved from the beginning and it was my first project for which I have fought.
For five years now, I also support Adveniat in the aid for Haiti, where many children lack basic necessities. I was just there for four weeks and stayed and worked in an orphanage.
How do you manage to be there as well as commiting to your engagement in Hamburg?
I regularly visit my mother in Hamburg. Seeing my mother is an additional good reason to be there.
I try to do as much as I can for both organizations as long as my shooting schedule allows it.
Why do you support the foundation's work for "Kinderjahre"?
The childhood foundation supports the children of overburdened families, and shows them many new ways and seeks contact with educators and schools. The Foundation offeres a lot of learning opportunities and actions, so that these children receive equal opportunities and have a happier childhood and youth and can look forward to a better future.
What does it mean to you personally the support the Foundation?
It means to me that I can return a gift to life from all, that has been given to me to a great extent in my childhood and my adolescence.
