“For people like us, it’s not helping 100%, it’s helping 110% to improve our wellbeing”
“People like us going through asylum process just need to get out, it is not only helping, it’s making changes to people’s lives”
“Considering the specific challenges of people in our situation, I think you do a really good job of providing opportunities, especially because these are aspects of our life that we have otherwise missed”
“The walks are a good way to help adapt to the climate, to the place, they are good for mental health, for learning the language”
