1. Anne-Sophie Rauch
Hallo
My name is Anne-Sophie and I‘m 17 years old. I live in Vienna, Austria and visit a secondary school focused on languages. My parents are divorced and I live together with my mother and my younger sister Rebecca. In my free time I love hanging out with friends, reading and playing computer games.
I like people, equal to their culture and beliefs and I’ m interested in their lives, opinions and feelings. Conflicts and problems are also a part of everyone’s life – and it is essential to solve these things in a fair and peaceful way.
I‘m really looking forward to attending the peacecamp for a second time after 2009. So it is not that new for me but I think every year is different and we will have a great time together. See you soon. ;-)
2. Bath-Sahaw Baranow
Description
Hello, my name is Bath-Sahaw Baranow, I am seventeen years old and live in Vienna, Austria. I love to travel and meet new people. In my spare time I enjoy reading and listening to music and since Vienna is a great place to do so, I really like living here.
I don’t think that progress has an end, I don’t believe in perfection, for we are all human beings and we make mistakes sometimes. But I think this doesn’t mean we should not try to make an effort, because if we bring together all the wonderful ideas that everyone has in their minds this world could be a better place. That is why I am looking very much forward to this peacecamp.

7. Xenia Donschachner
Hey (:
My name is Xenia Donschachner, I live in Vienna, Austria with my mother and my sister and I visit the AKG in Vienna.
I love traveling (I have lived in Budapest, Hungary for one year and in Johannesburg, South Africa for three) and experiencing new cultures, ways of thinking and ways of life. I also love books, as well as sports and just hanging out with my friends. I can't play any instrument, but I always enjoy music (except for the "wonderful" Ballerman music, it's terrible!) and I have some very musical freinds, so that's great for me. I absolutely love art, so I'm the one who drags everyone who can't run away fast enough to any exposition in any art gallery or museum I hear of. I like learning new languages, I can speak German (my mother language), then English and French quite fluedly, and I'm starting on Italian, but even though Latin is a major subject in our school, I suck at reading and understanding it, so no way I'd be able to speak it. As soon as it's sunny and warm, I try to spend my days lazing around in the sun with a book or my friends. I have a dog, Dumbledore (the one in the picture), and I "babysit" our neighbors dog, a Chihuahua named Shorty sometimes.
I really look forward to this Peacecamp, I'm sure it's going to be fun (:

8. Sarah Heer
Hello :D
My name is Sarah Heer and I am 15 years old. I live with my family in Vienna and there I go to a school focused on languages. My favorite subjects are history and sports, especially volleyball. I like it very much to travel around the world because I like to meet new people and their culture and to see old important sights. In my professional life I would like to be an archaeologist in South-America, because I am fascinated by the Inca-, Maya- and Aztecan cultures. I play accordion for eight years and I really like it. Maybe this summer I am learning paragliding.
