Samuel Pfenning

Samuel grew up and lived in Augsburg where he also finished school. In 2010 he spent one year working for the German government for an environmental education organization in Namibia. There he learned to look at the desert as more than plain emptiness but rather as an unbelievably specialized ecosystem. His dedication to a strong society derives from what he saw in Namibia as the effects of a deeply separated society.
