The Foundation is very helpful, teaches us not only through theory but mostly through practice. Thanks to Atalaya I opened myself up to people – during trips I broke through my language barrier. Atalaya is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. 

The people working here are also fantastic. They will talk to you when you think the world is shutting you out. I’m talking about the team of Atalaya, as well as the volunteers I met there!

In the Foundation I can grow and play all at once. I will never say a bad word about my second home that ATALAYA has become for me!

I lived a year in Atalaya’s training apartament. That opportunity was very helpful because it was a time when I began to grow independent after leaving a children’s home, while I was studying. It gave me a possibility to easily manage working and studying at the same time, while also giving me mental safety and stability thanks to the fact that the apartament contract was clear, which was very important for me at the time. 

I felt I could lean on the women from the Foundation if I ever needed it, and they visited us many times to talk and ask how we were getting on living there. Besides the apartament, I know I can come to Atalaya when I need advice or help and when I want to grow in whatever area of life, as Atalaya carries out lots of workshops and projects. 

I think you do an enormous job. I haven’t received this kind of support anywhere and I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. 

 It’s impossible to describe the Foundation with one or two sentences. This incredible place is beyond words. Thanks to Atalaya Foundation I learned so many things that changed me for the better. The workshops are much more useful than some school subjects because we will actually use them in our future lives. 

If I tried to name everything I learned thanks to Atalaya it would be too much and everyone would be jealous of me. 

I am part of another project, in which I learned even more new things that will be very useful in the future that is approaching rapidly towards me. I learned and mastered more English in a few days here than a few months at school. Yet what I owe to Atalaya the most is a feeling of support, care, time given to me and the multitude of conversations that opened my eyes and helped in discovering myself, with all the good and the bad. 
It’s a place where I can be myself and feel safe. The people there – I owe a lot to them, really, a lot. I am not ashamed of receiving support from Atalaya. On the contrary – I am happy to be there, take part in various projects and spend time with the people there. Thank You!

A relationship with Atalaya certainly taught me to believe in myself more and I know what there are people who want to help me in my plans concerning my career and future.
