🧡 Meet Our Volunteers

Ani­KA — Arriv­ing in Karl­sruhe would not be pos­si­ble with­out the amaz­ing sup­port of our volunteers!

Whether it’s trans­lat­ing con­tent, spread­ing the word at events, or cre­at­ing posts for social media, our team of ded­i­cat­ed vol­un­teers helps keep Ani­KA active, acces­si­ble, and multilingual.

They bring their tal­ents, lan­guages, and per­son­al expe­ri­ences to make Karl­sruhe more wel­com­ing for new­com­ers from all over the world.

We’re proud to intro­duce some of the peo­ple behind Ani­KA – each with their own sto­ry and moti­va­tion to help oth­ers feel at home.

Aida Ayani

Vol­un­teer

My name is Aida Ayani and I come from Iran. Even back in school, I loved tak­ing part in vol­un­teer projects — and that joy of being involved has stayed with me here in Ger­many.

At “Ani­KA – Wel­come to Karl­sruhe”, I’m respon­si­ble for the Per­sian-lan­guage sec­tion of our web­site, help­ing Far­si-speak­ing new­com­ers find their way more eas­i­ly.

For me, Ani­KA is a won­der­ful way to make a pos­i­tive con­tri­bu­tion and con­nect with peo­ple who believe in sol­i­dar­i­ty and com­mu­ni­ty.

Kiana Kalan­tari

Vol­un­teer

At Ani­KA, I have the won­der­ful oppor­tu­ni­ty to share my pas­sion for lan­guage and com­mu­ni­ca­tion.

As a trans­la­tor, I care­ful­ly and whole­heart­ed­ly trans­late the con­tent of our web­site from Ger­man into Per­sian. Since there are often no direct equiv­a­lents in our lan­guage and machine trans­la­tions often miss the sub­tleties, it’s very impor­tant to me to make the texts clear, wel­com­ing, and easy to under­stand for our Per­sian-speak­ing new­com­ers from the very begin­ning.

It brings me great joy to be part of this inspir­ing project that sup­ports peo­ple on their new jour­ney and shows them that they are not alone.
