The Story
Silke and Daniel share an appreciation for all cultures and languages and have a passion for living in remote and exotic places.
After joining MAF in 2005 they have served in Arnhem Land, Mareeba, Madagascar and now Kenya. Daniel began his career as a Base Pilot situated in Arnhem Land, and progressed to Base Manager, Check and Training Pilot and Operations Manager.
After 8 years of flying, Daniel relocated to Mareeba and began an Avionics apprenticeship with MAF, which he completed in 2018. He currently works in the MAF Kenya Program, alongside Kenyan Nationals maintaining a fleet of nine aircraft.
Silke enjoys building relationships with the local Kenyan people in the place they call home and has been active in the field of Indigenous Culture, Agriculture, Veterinary services and Community Safety. Currently, Silke uses her skills and knowledge surrounding permaculture to educate and improve the quality of life for both the staff and children at a street children’s rehab centre.
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
JOHN 8:12 (NIV)
