As a trained communications specialist, Daniel worked in various advertising agencies until 2007. He found his true calling in the founding team of Utopia.de, the online community for sustainable living. He then launched the initiative “Stadtimker” (City Beekeepers) and has been working on establishing the “Kartoffelkombinat" (the Potato Combine) in Munich since 2012. The aim of this cooperative is to provide themselves with their own regional and seasonal food. In September this year, Daniel traveled to the Serbian-Hungarian border to help the refugees that were arriving there. There, the decision to establish an NGO was made. The mission of the "InterEuropean Human Aid Association" (IHA) is to provide refugees with protection and assistance on their journey - quickly and efficiently with a team of volunteers, in close coordination with NGOs, directly in the forming refugee camps at the EU's external borders.
