The Volunteershouse: for this place so many young people have left their country to come here to learn, to learn about other cultures, to meet new people, to discover places and much more. Many have come here with different expectations from different countries and backgrounds, and the realization that I am one*of many who feel comfortable in this house gives me a sense of security and a great joy.

Amazingly, it has been six months since I arrived. For a young woman like me, who has never lived far from home all her life, it is not easy to move away from family.

This place has seen my thoughts, my emotions and my daily activities and I just love being here. I feel exceptionally blessed to be a volunteer who has such a peaceful home.

My heart is full of gratitude and I am in awe of God’s grace and God’s hand that has brought me this far.

My family far away is really happy because I am blessed with a beautiful family in Dortmund.
