Last February I have spent five days in Copenhaguen with some people of the class and three teachers. We came here to visit a big institution, Kofoeds School, for homeless people. It was fantastic and we could learn a lot about the way they work and treat the people. The staff don’t ask what they don’t have, they ask what they want and what are their expectations.
After a week of the trip, when I was in the class, two girls came and explain us that they have been in Copenhagen studying in the course that we are staying now. We show us a lot of pictures and explain us a lot of histories that they lived here. I thought that I wanted to live this experience too so I send a request and fortunately I’m here!
I arrived with three other girls on the 25th of August. Mia came to pick us up in the airport! It was fantastic because she helped us a lot! We are very happy and grateful to her because if she hadn't come mabye, well I'm sure that we would have lost.
The four first days, Cris and I were staying in a hostel. It was nice because it wasn't expensive and the most important, we met a lot of people from all over the world!
Every day we have been looking in dba.dk a place to live but it was more and more horrible by the time! Everybody who we called, told us that the flat or the room which we were interested, was rented. This days we lived some nice histories that I would like to explain.
This is which I like most:
Cristina and I were walking on the street and we asked to a man with his little son, the street that we were looking for. Suddenly Cristina asked him if he knew something about a flat for rent. He was thinking a minute and told us to follow him. We did and he invited us to go at his home and talk with his wife. When we arrived, Marta, his spanish wife, was surprised but we don't know how, in a minute we were sitting in their living room with a cup of tea and a piece of chocolate cake made it for her. It was all delicious but unfortunately they couldn't offered us a flat...
We were continuing looking for but sometimes it was so stressful. We stay in a new country, with a new language, new people and it's very hard stay far away from your home without a place to live. Before this experience, obviously I have never expressed indifference for homeless people but it's true that now I'm more consequently. I know that first of all I'm healthy and I've got a big support of my parents and the university too but I was really worried about.
Fortunately, now we are living in a nice flat in Vanlos so I'm ready for live as much as possible experiences and increase my knowledge of live!
