Most of the Ukrainian women participating in the support group in Liepāja admit that they traveled a lot before the war. That is why the idea of inviting the world traveler and blogger Žigis to one of the meeting evenings aroused interest.
Žigis shared his travel experiences and allowed the group members to take a virtual trip to Hawaii. The atmosphere of the meeting was made even warmer and more cozy by the delicious treat.
At the end of the event, the participants expressed their desire to hear about the opportunity to travel around Latvia next time. They would like to learn about beautiful places that are probably not described in tourist guides, about places that can be reached by them too - traveling with children.
The joy of seeing each other again and the friendly conversations make me believe that such a support group is very, very necessary.
The project "Legal and psycho-social assistance, and integration support to refugee-women in Latvia" is implemented in cooperation with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
