Ira's experience
During my
time at SASA I got the opportunity to get a lot of new experiences.
Working with the refugees was quite new for me and meeting a completely
different culture made my work so interesting.
I did some
office work, e.g. writing descriptions and proposals, creating a newsletter or
sitting at the reception. But I was also allowed to join some meetings with
important refugee organizations in Cape Town. One of them, UNHCR, we visited
for a whole day to get to know what function each of them have or what their
daily work looks like.
Without SASA
I would have never had the possibility to get such a comprehensive view into the life of refugees and asylum-seekers. My work
here encouraged me to face up more with the refugee issue and to campaign in Germany as well. I would like to thank all team members
of SASA for the last 5 weeks I spent here and all the experiences I have made
here.
