SOFIA BERGAMO – WELLBEING & DEVELOPMENT VOLUNTEER
“If I had to define my experience with W&D in one word, I would say “inspiring”: starting every day with a round of hugs and sincere ‘how are you?’, sharing joys and challenges with the team, being able to witness the resilience and determination of people on the move, especially women, as they take an active role in shaping the support they receive, building connections and fostering empowerment – this is what allows us to truly be human beings who walk together.”
