FOFS Munich - DACH Program 3

In the organizer's words:

Family is a beautiful thing, most of the time: while some would like to have one, others never want to go back to it. It can heal traumas from the past or make them worse - but sometimes only a resolute grandma can give hope.

Family is a wonderful thing - most of the time. While some people would love to have one, others hope never to return to theirs. A family can heal traumas from the past or exacerbate them - but sometimes only a resolute grandmother can offer hope.
