Today I meet two people from Venezuela for the first time: Nancy has only been in Germany for three months and moved here because of her daughter and grandson. Both live in the centre of Dresden. Rafael has been living here a little longer and tells me about the Venezuelan community. “It’s only been about three years that Venezuelans have been coming to Dresden. Unfortunately, they often stay among themselves because the German culture and social life here are so different from home. But I’m glad that there are offers like this café where you can speak German and meet people of other nationalities.” Rafael learned about the café from a staff member of the railway station mission, who helped him with papers and letters shortly after his arrival.
