We just finished up a week long conference in Berlin (hence the loads of computer work needing to be done) with an organization called Roma Gadje Dialogue Through Service. Together, we were a group of almost 30 people, Roma and Gadje (non-Roma), serving in Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands. We got to hear some great speakers about Roma history and current issues, participate in many discussions, and enjoy some wonderful time sharing stories, laughter, and - of course - great food.
The fact that our conference was in Berlin almost made the atmosphere very interesting. We had the chance to visit the Berlin Wall, the Parliament, the Museum of German History, and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. What an interesting city!
