On Monday, October 8, 2018 our very own founder, Jacob Niemeier, and volunteer, Fernanda Munoz were interviewed in Spanish by Adriana Lopez on Telemundo 39. The interview aired on TV on Tuesday, October 9, 2018.
Jacob Niemeier grew up in North America's heartland and from a very young age his Catholic Christian faith has been very important to him.
He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Science in Agriculture & Biological Engineering from Purdue University and continues to this day to uphold his Engineering license.
Jacob has a great passion for problem solving and adventure whether it is with water, the environment, travel, or people. While at Purdue, Jacob, also, recognized the needs and suffering of people in developing countries when he took mission trips to both Haiti and Africa which he credits as his inspiration for starting Vera Aqua Vera Vita.
