Magda
Housemother - with all her heart, each and every moment
Magda has been working at the Ebenezer Home since 2012, and three of those years as the house mother. Her daily tasks are very diverse, like those of a mother ... ;)
She makes sure, the residents are well off, their rooms are furnished according to their needs, and if they have specific needs, she goes and shops for them. Another part of her daily work is domestic economics. Every week Magda meets with the kitchen staff to plan the menu, taking into account the diets of the individual residents. Magda also is the first person to contact about laundry and house cleaning. In short: She oversees everything related to the domestic economy. During the year, she organizes various feast celebrations for the residents in the Ebenezer Home or the adjacent garden. Magda is also in regular contact with suppliers, compares prices, and orders food.
The ambience at Ebenezer is very friendly. It feels like a second home to her, and Magda enjoys being at Ebenezer. She explains, "In my daily work, I experience how God gives me the strength, wisdom, and joy to accomplish all tasks. He brought me here. For me it's a privilege to serve Him and the residents here, and it's incredibly fun for me. I want to work for Him with all my heart, each and every moment."
Maintenance
David
One of the special things about the Ebenezer has it's own kitchen, laundry and last but not least maintenance in the house. David, the maintenance manager, explains: "Often even other facilities are looking for advice from us, since they always rely on different, external experts and are therefore not familiar with the relevant standards and procedures. The effort pays off, because our independence is not only financially a significant advantage for the home. Everything can be - sorted according to priorities and individually adapted to the Home - done immediately or postponed. "
The team is co-responsible for maintenance, adds that this is also one of the good challenges: "We live and work in a very dynamic house with many different components and variable needs and thus an extremely wide range of tasks. Maintenance includes a variety of jobs: repairs and installation jobs, work and general security/safety of the house, we also take care of the equipment inspection, postal supply and delivery of urgent materials such as laboratory samples. Of course, this also includes the handling of many different materials such as wood, glass, fuels, electronics, electrical, compressed air, oxygen, ... it's a long list. Long story short, we are all responsible for the entire maintenance of the house, except for the elevator and parts of the LPG system. "
