Monika, Mona and Amal

Monika is no longer good on her feet, but Amal and Mona are. The two women support the mobile shopping cart for elderly and disabled people every week. It makes its weekly tours in Prohlis and Pieschen. Mona comes from Syria and Amal from Lebanon. The two women have been looking for and found a task so they can meet people and improve their German. "After shopping, we always sit with the elderly people for coffee. It's always very nice. It has taken away our fear of making mistakes when speaking." Amal says she has finally been granted residency and can now finally work properly. "Life in Germany is very respectful and I feel safe, but the nice things in life were in Lebanon."
