Women*s day at the BAZ

On Tuesday, 24th of February we had our Women*s day at the BAZ! With enthusiasm and input of our volunteers we created a great program for women* and children. Apart from coffee and cookies and a chatty and comfortable atmosphere we could offer counseling for the asylum process, a candle-making workshop and many children’s activities such as drawing, face-painting and the creation of scooby-doo-keyrings. Volunteer translators helped with multicultural communication. The day was a great success and is to be repeated on a regular two-weekly base – we are still looking for supporters, feel welcome to join our women*s group!
