Thank You „Barka”!
We are the group of Poles who was staying abroad for the last few years. We left the country to improve our life conditions. Before leaving we were unemployed and we could not satisfy basic needs. Many of us spent the last penny, very often borrowed from a family or friends, to buy a ticket and start a new life in London, England, usually not knowing a language and without any preparation.
