Gabriela es una chica muy amable, intelligente y creatíva. Me ha ayudado no solo con el trabajo pero también con los concejos en la red cultural y con mis páginas web. Lo muy importante son también sus buenos conocimientos del Alemán. Estoy de verdad feliz por obtengar la posibilidad de conocerla y colaborar con Ella.

Alena is an amazing person. I would write she is an amazing woman, but she can do and make even more than any man I've ever met! I loved my stay in Görlitz (a beautiful city, by the way). I was accommodated in a flat 10 mins walk from the gallery. I helped with everything I had the balls to do :-) but I was also explained things I was unsure… read more

It was a great time being with Alena in her gallery!
She always said that I could do these works if I also wanted to make it. Being with her was relaxed, no push and made me feel good!
And She works with many patients to improve my German. I really appreciated it!

I have to cite the paragraphs from the person who had worked at Alena’s… read more

Dolin ist einfach eine den besten Menschen, die ich in meinem 52 Jahre langen Leben treffen dürfte. Beschreiben kann ich sie nicht so einfach. Doline muss man kennen lernen. Sie ist ausgesprochen intelligent, lieb, fleißig, bescheidend, handwerklich begabt, belesen... In der ganzen Zeit, wo ich mit ihr zusammen sein dürfte habe ich kein einziges… read more

How can I describe my month working with Alena? It's nearly impossible. She told me it was going to be a "simple life". It was, but how beautiful! Everyday was so good. She made everything for me to feel good, happy, and to improve my German.
She opened the doors of her home without any fears. I felt at home. Soon enough, I felt completly part… read more
