OUR FOUNDERS

How did it all start?

GUS VANHERF

Co Founder

I graduated in 2018 as a Software Engineer. While I’m currently working at Hewlett Packard Enterprises for Pointnext, I’m always on the lookout for new meaningful projects to take on to add value to my experience as well as that of others.
My love for volunteering started when I was a leader in the Scouts. In college, I joined the student union ‘Industria vzw’, during which I was the Head of Business Relations. My tasks included exploring business opportunities and organizing relevant events for my peers.
Now, I’m driven to use my skills to aid teachers by providing the support they need in transferring their knowledge to their students.

How were their experiences?

Lara (Team 2021-2022)

"What I liked most about this experience was being entirely immersed in a new culture and working with very enthusiastic people. They showed a lot of gratitude and taught me a lot of valuable things. It was a very enriching cultural exchange. "

"I will never forget the achievement day in San Ignacio and the songs they/we sang: it was really great being together with all these students and teachers."
