Even though Jens works night shifts at a Berlin hostel to support his studies, he also finds time to coach Ibrahim, a 16 year old pupil who needs his help for school. The two were brought together by ROCKYOURLIFE, an organization that matches up university students with under-privileged pupils, for one-on-one academic assistance and support.
