Isabel Babenschneider Coordinator, Early Childhood Development Programme Isabel Babenschneider grew up near Stuttgart, Germany. While doing her Masters in Education, Business Economics and German Literature/Linguistics at the University of Stuttgart, her curiosity and interest in different cultures took her to the country of leprechauns where she spent a year on developing a Cork accent, working, and getting to know the beautiful green countryside and its people. After her time in Ireland, Isabel continued to study education and intercultural relations and developed a great interest in the African continent. Today, she uses a combination of her education and economics background as well as her eagerness for working with people in her position as ECD Coordinator at SAEP. Since July 2007, Isabel has been working with the ECD Team on supporting and uplifting the 16 crèches of the Safety Unity Crèche Forum in Philippi. If she isn’t practicing her Xhosa-clicks, you can be sure to find Isabel on the dance floor – being part of SAEP implies being dragged to at least one dance class with her… :)

“ Before I joined [the Bridging Year] Programme, I was shy, not talkative and did not know about computers. I did not know which careers to follow or consider. But with SAEP that was all organized and I am now free to say, 'one day I will be an editor of a big newspaper,' since now I am a reporter for West Cape News Agency. ”
