Introducing

I would be remiss if I didn't introduce you to a very important member of the community. A German psychology student currently residing at the house, he was a volunteer last year and lived at the Mission House and this year is very much a part of Oudezijds. He enjoys soccer, is good with children and speaks Dutch and English fluently.

None of these things is what makes him special.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the real Franz Ferdinand.



Yes, that's actually his name. Franz Ferdinand. Like the Archduke. And the band.

Yes, wittingly or unwittingly, his parents certainly set him up for success in life. Who knows what doors of opportunity will swing open to his famous name?

'Ferdinand', as he sometimes goes by when he feels like avoiding the limelight, would like it to be known that his favorite band is actually Interpol.
