Hello, I’m Hripsime

When people in Latvia asked me why I chose Latvia, my answer was this: “I didn’t choose Latvia — Latvia chose me.”
I’m truly happy I ended up in Rēzekne, a place with almost no crowds, where the city breathed nature. I’ve had a real rest here — fully combining volunteering with peace and quiet.

Since my volunteering took place in a kindergarten, I had my own little personal psychologists and therapists — who were just 1.5 to 2 years old 🥹

By connecting with one of the local NGOs and participating in every single event — big or small — that took place in the city, I’ve gained valuable experience and, even more importantly, beautiful human connections.
