Impressions from volunteering at the Grodzka GateDirect link for this paragraph

It was a really great year - full of new challenges, interesting meetings and travels. In my opinion, Lublin is one of the most beautiful cities in Poland, which is why I am happy that I have lived here for so long. And I would like to thank all my colleagues for their support.

– How was your work during the pandemic? You came to volunteer at a rather unusual moment...

– I was working remotely [during the lockdown period] and I would like to thank Brama for helping me organize this work - I was in contact with my colleagues and received materials to be developed by e-mail. I didn't have any problems, I like working remotely and organizing my time - I worked even more effectively.
