About the volunteering opportunity
The women in the shared accommodation for refugees would like the opportunity to sew.
Many already have experience with sewing themselves and could sew beautiful pieces of clothing or other textiles for themselves and their children. In addition, a sewing studio is a nice opportunity for an exchange.
