Integration
Feedback
.
I look forward to moving to the UK and don't feel scared about living there, after attending the workshops.
I would like to train as a teacher, since I already am a nursery school teacher here
If my husband and family are supportive I would like to continue my studies in developing my English and do a course on customer service
It feels great to know there are other women
who run a family as well as working outside
The future
