The persons listed have volontered to reply to questions you could direct to us. They do not offer to perform any services or to assist in translating in contacts with local administration etc. Just good to know the scope of resources available in and around the fairly small village – as well as to know that there actually might be someone there to talk to.
Jörn has for many years been a well appreciated site for persons in need of asylum. The tolerant and overseeing folks of the Community are used to meeting with people with different backgrounds, experiences and history of their own.
