“Learn to overcome barriers, set goals, I was able to do it and so can you”

I am 37 years old. This is the age when you ask yourself the key questions and your answers  help to make the main decisions of your life. Before a job, my life was dull and conventional. I had to constantly fight health issues and it took so much time that I considered not being able to fit into any job. There came a moment in my life when I realized it is easy to give up, to search for reasons that make you right. Strong you are when you act and fight to the end. I decided to live with the problems and fight, so I started looking for a job. That’s how I got the opportunity to apply to the Employment Center and share my story with the employment consultants. Thanks to their effort, I was able to learn to work on felt, batik, and weaving at the “Workshop in Edena” on a professional level. After the internship, the result of employment came.

“Edena”  workshop has become an integral part of my life. My job is a creative impulse. Now I weave the sadness and joy in my work pieces.
