Do you feel that you have the desire, time, and resources to be a friend? Are you interested in people and other cultures?

Being a friend does not require any special skills. Through the friend activity you can help an immigrant to a good start in their new home country. As a friend you can decide to what extent you want to engage in the activity. Together you can decide when to meet and what to do together.

We are looking for friendship families and friends of different ages and in different stages of life, who want to support refugees that have recently arrived in the country.

Are you interested?
