“I would like to thank you because you gave me an opportunity to express what is inside me about Irida Center and the staff at Irida. I continue on the course of my life. Of course, Irida Center means a lot to me. Thanks to the Irida Center and the team, I have reached what I dreamed of for a long time. And it wouldn’t have happened, if it hadn’t been for God’s success, and then because Irida stood by my side. Before I came to Irida and met the team who works at Irida, I was a completely different person. I was not a social person. I didn’t want to leave the house. I was isolated and I had no goal in life. Even if I had a goal, I would not have the bravery to reach my goal. My personality was weak, but after I came to Irida and got to know the staff , I changed a lot. I became a strong person and I became brave. And because my personality is strong and I have the ability to defend my rights and the rights of others, I became a social person. All this change is thanks to Irida and the staff at Irida. And every person from the team was giving me positive energy, so I could achieve my goals. Thanks to Irida I met people from different countries. All thanks and appreciation to all who stood with me, and to all who stood against me, as this is what made me who I am today. Today I thank you for what you did for me and I learned a lot from you, you were the best teachers for me and others. If you were not, I wouldn’t have a goal in this life.”
