“This photograph depicts me with my daughter Alina. We arrived in Slovakia in March 2022, at the very beginning of the war in my home country, Ukraine. In Slovakia we met many wonderful and caring people. Thanks to my new Slovak friends I am not feeling lonely anymore, I can share their company, among people who show us their interest, care and help. With my daughter we both enjoy getting to know a new culture and country and to make friends among our Slovak peers. I am happy that I can work here as a teacher and Alina can live a normal child life amid her classmates and new buddies.”
