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 :)

Tom Rüütel - I have learned a lot about myself and therefore I know that Helpific and I belong together!
Team member Tom Rüütel - Helpific Estonia, peer advisor
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!

A beautiful spring morning, the sun is shining. You should feel inner happiness over every single starting day. Happiness from people and activities that you will deal with during the upcoming day.

I have learned about topics through Helpific that I would otherwise have never even heard about!
Team member Liina Martinson - Helpific Estonia, translator
Liina describes herself with five sentences or tells us whatever comes to her mind right this moment:
The word that describes me the best is „mother“. Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to become a mother. It was my dream, my passion, my longing… I have three kids now and motherhood is still my passion. Everything I do, I do for my kids and being able to do that makes me the happiest woman on earth. When asked to describe myself, I would say, that I am caring, helpful and aware of others around me. Multitasking is my middle name. Staying fit is my hobby: when unhappy, I go for a run. I despise violence in all forms, especially towards kids and animals.
Through love and dedication we can make a better world!

Ashley describes herself with five-sentences or tells us what ever comes to her mind on this moment:
When asked to describe myself, I find it difficult. The person I am now, as a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend. But there are in-between categories. We all are complex. BUT we all have one thing in common... Love. Love for God, love for life, love for family, love for friends, love for each-other. My first love is God. Everything is possible through Him. My love for my family is second. Being a mom, where all of my energy is devoted to, is the most exhausting, yet the most rewarding. My love for people… we are all called to love each-other, support each-other and uplift each-other. Through love and dedication we can make a better world. There is no room for hate, violence or discrimination. Love conquers all.
