CHAMRAN (UNDISCLOSED)

MARCH 2018 TO JUNE 2018

Being in Greece as a refugee was hard and it is harder without any communication skills. Although the official language is Greek, being able to speak a good level of English can decrease your problems. Since there operate many international organizations and a wide network of volunteers from abroad, English can open many doors for you with new connections. It was three years ago that I was informed about Habibi Center (Stephanie and Alex) and I decided to attend it back then. I was in a pre-intermediate class with Stephanie teaching it; this class was really welcoming and you feel at home there. I still remember the friendly circles we used to form during the sessions. Stephanie and all other teachers were skillful, humble, and passionate. Teaching from personal experience, they were excited to teach you and even to mentor you. Thanks to that class, my English is so much better than before, and I could already see so much improvement when I was in the class. I must express the value those teachings brought to my life, writing this testimonial is the least I could do but I hope it inspires you. Now, these words are to Steph: “Your class was something I looked forward to during my week and I appreciate your generosity and authenticity with your students.” Habibi Center is great for anyone and I highly recommend it.
