Team member Kerti Kulper - Helpific Estonia, copywriter-editor

Kerti describes herself with five sentences or tells us what ever comes to her mind right this moment:

Right now I’m feeling happy and I can honestly say that it’s been a while since I last felt like it. Negative thoughts went on a holiday as soon as the sun started warming my cheeks and this really makes me feel good. I feel like whatever worries life throws at you, everything will work out eventually and then you realise that even crappy things happen for a reason. Loving life at this moment :)

"Sometimes it’s good to reach out to others because then you realise that others have the same kind of worries and problems and we’re not that different after all."

Tom describes himself with five sentences or tells us whatever comes to his mind right this moment: 

At the moment I feel tired from yesterday’s Rammstein concert. Life has shown me, that all the tiring and difficult activities are in reality the most emotional and the best ones. Be it a concert, engaging with something where I need to step out of my comfort zone or for example an evening with my friends. There are no impossible opportunities, there are only opportunities! You will never know until you have not tried!

When talking about helping people with special needs or the elderly, many accidentally believe that helping means 24-hour care that is accompanied by several boring tasks. Those who have offered a helping hand, know very well that helping is useful to both parties and it definitely cannot be called taking care of someone, let alone a boring job.

Kerstin confirmed that she has left every meeting with a good feeling and has clearly sensed that she can have an effect on someone else’s well-being. «I recommend to research about Helpific and weigh the idea of helping,” she says confidently.

The Y-generation is often accused of being lazy and exhibiting a lack of independence. Many of these young people still live with their parents, which reinforces the impression that the Y-generation youth do not have the drive, or desire to make the effort to earn money. However, there is one reason why this generation is way ahead of the others.
