Memories from few days in Rodyna (diary)
I am writing this article a few months first. So I’d like to share the things that have happened to me at Rodyna. I remember the walks with the children in the park next to the school. Those were good times because the children could see other things and other people, especially for Ira and Dima who were having fun with animals and particularly with pigeons. I remember Rodyna’s anniversary. If I am not mistaken it was the 20 anniversary of school. For the occasion,...
Read MoreFrench meetings
We kept on holding Francophone as. Lots of people visited the event. Some people showed up on a regular basis, others arrived from time to time. The number of people was different every time.

Most of these meetings took place at Syndicate beer & grill. The place is suitable to these kinds of events because there is a lot of space and every...

No time to judge It’s time to help… We used to stay aside somebody’s problem. In most of cases we can do something more than judge. People are always judging gipsy’s by some stereotypes. We are judging people by their clothes, appearance, behaviors, even smell… People don’t want to understand, don’t even try to understand gipsy’s problems fully and deeply. Have you ever asked yourself why do they do something not the way like you are doing? I am sure, no… But in most cases...
