What reasons do you have for getting out of bed in the morning?
Maybe you have obligations, such as a job. Or children; hopefully they are a reason to wake up with a smile. Perhaps the best reason is lust for life.
What about when all these reasons are missing? Or what if it doesn’t really matter what you do? Then it is good to pick yourself up and pick up your life. That is not so easy when the life you were used to leading no longer exists. When you are new to a country, when you know few people, have no network, no fixed habits.
We want to support newcomers, and especially refugees, in starting their lives. And feeling better about themselves.
We do this in different ways. By organizing and offering activities, for example creative workshops and yoga. And by providing information and tips on how to create a positive mindset or feel better about yourself.
We are also happy to offer newcomers a place as a volunteer. Because we believe that giving to others, being part of a community, and a sense of belonging are important to feel good. It’s nice to have a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
