<\/a><\/p>\nMy name is Bianca and in 2025 I had the opportunity to do community service at Scalabrini House 634. <\/span>When I started, I didn’t know exactly what to expect; I had many ideas, some concerns and a sincere desire to put myself at the service of others. Today, looking back, I can say. <\/span>this year has not only enriched my knowledge, but has profoundly transformed the way I look at the world and the people in it.<\/span><\/p>\nThis experience allowed me to approach the migration phenomenon in a concrete and human way. It is not just about statistics or numbers, but behind every story is a person with dreams, hopes, fears and fragilities. <\/span>I met many people who were fleeing from difficult situations but still continued to seek opportunities and cultivate their dignity. Confronting these stories gave me a better understanding of the challenges migrants face on a daily basis, but it also allowed me to appreciate the riches they bring with them, the determination, courage, curiosity and desire to integrate and build a life of dignity.<\/span> <\/p>\nThis experience taught me the value of listening and empathy. <\/span>Often, simply sitting next to someone and listening to their story without judgment can be the first concrete gesture of help. I have learned how important it is to put myself in others’ shoes, to understand their emotions, their difficulties and their needs, even when they are different from my own. Each person I met left me with something, a new perspective, a reflection, a life lesson that I could not have learned elsewhere. <\/p>\n
