My Kummi Family
Connecting with great people!
On Monday 30th of September, we were invited to meet the Kummi family that we were matched with in the University.
We were given one half of the puzzle piece, and we would try to find the other half in a room full of families.
While we were waiting to meet them, I was feeling quite nervous about what my family would be like, if they would like me, if it would be awkward. Once I entered the room, the nervousness went away and I truly felt like a child filled with joy!
The other half of my puzzle turned out to be Lilli (daughter) and Satu (mother), a lovely family that I feel very lucky I got matched with!
In our first meeting there, we talked about ourselves, I learned about Lilli and about Satu's work as a social worker. We also talked about what we expect from this programme, and we started planning our next meetings!
