Review from My Students
Josna
A Heartfelt Thanks to MSJ Fathers for My German Learning Journey
My name is Josna, and I want to extend my sincere gratitude to the MSJ Fathers
for their incredible support in helping me learn the German language. Their
dedication and patience were instrumental in building my language skills, which
have opened up new opportunities for me.
I am now doing my FSJ at Caritas Westerburg, and this experience is a
significant step towards my goal of studying nursing in Germany. Without the
solid foundation I received from the MSJ Fathers, I wouldn’t have been able to
achieve this milestone.
Thank you, MSJ Fathers, for being such an important part of my journey and
helping me make my dreams a reality!

My name is Dayana Mathew, and I would like to express my deep appreciation to
the MSJ Fathers for their unwavering support in helping me achieve my German
dream. Their teaching and encouragement have been pivotal in my progress and
have given me the confidence to pursue my aspirations in Germany.
I am currently doing my FSJ at Caritas Westerburg, which is an important step
towards my goal of studying nursing here. I truly believe that the guidance I
received from the MSJ Fathers made this journey possible and has helped me reach
where I am today.
Thank you, MSJ Fathers, for your invaluable contribution to my success and for
helping me take this important step towards my future!
Binaya Baby
Thank you, Fathers for your great help and support
I am Binaya Baby. I learned the German language with MSJ Fathers, and it was a
truly wonderful experience. The guidance and support I received were invaluable,
not just in learning the language but also in understanding the culture and life
in Germany. Thanks to their dedicated teaching, I was able to build the
confidence and skills necessary to pursue my career abroad.
Today, I am proud to say that I am working at Caritas Mendig in Germany. This
achievement would not have been possible without the continuous encouragement,
patience, and efforts of the MSJ Fathers. They helped me overcome challenges and
stay focused on my goals.
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity they provided, and I would highly
recommend their program to anyone aspiring to work or live in Germany. Thank
you, Fathers, for making my dream a reality.

Grateful for My FSJ Opportunity
I am Amith C. George. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Fathers for
their great help in securing my FSJ placement. Thanks to their guidance and
support, I am now in Mendig, completing my one-year FSJ (Freiwilliges Soziales
Jahr). This opportunity has been a life-changing experience, and I am deeply
grateful for their assistance in helping me take this important step in my
career.
The Fathers not only helped me with the application process but also prepared me
for the challenges ahead. Their constant encouragement gave me the confidence to
embrace this new journey in Germany. The FSJ has provided me with valuable work
experience, language skills, and cultural insights that will shape my future.
I highly recommend their program to anyone looking for meaningful opportunities
abroad. I wouldn’t have been able to get this far without their continued
support, and I am excited about what the future holds. Thank you once again for
everything!

studies, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to pursue my dream career
