Mithoni’s story

I got on really well with Karen from the first time I met her. I found it difficult to trust people because I came from a very bad situation in my country. But I trusted Karen and we soon became friends.

The first thing we did together was go to an exercise class. I didn’t use to do much exercise at home, so it was difficult at first, but Karen is a very active lady, so I’ve had to become more active – and I think it’s been very good for me! She hasn’t just helped me get fit though – she has helped me in so many ways. Whenever I do something for the first time, I think – right, what would Karen do? She’s also helped me try things I would never have done before. I’ve just completed a cookery course – she suggested the course so that I could make some money, and it was fantastic. She’s my inspiration in life.

Karen’s story

I met Mithoni when she was very lonely. She hadn’t been in this country long, and she needed a friend. I thought that I could help Mithoni learn to live in a new country, but I also realised that she could teach me a lot too. I’ve always believed that exercise makes you happier, so I took her to one of my exercise classes. We both really enjoyed doing it together, so now we go every week.

Not long after I met Mithoni, her grand-daughter came to stay, so I organised lots of things over the summer. We went to exhibitions, went swimming abd went to the cinema a lot. It was so much fun. We really enjoy each other’s company and I have so much respect for her because she’s suffered a lot in her life, but manages to be a wonderful human being.
