En Colombia hay como un.
Como un ancianato, una persona que se llama Clarita.
Ella se dice que decae.
Nashua y ella tiene como uno es súper caritativa, entonces ayuda a mucha gente en Cartago, a los ancianitos que no tienen hogar y ella las cuida en esa casa y dicen que ella es de acá, de Nashua Y cuando llego uno acá es súper confortable, la gente es súper amigable, son muy atentos a lo que uno necesita.
Eso me pasó cuando llegué, por ejemplo, para la temporada de frío, pues no tenía dinero para comprar una chaqueta o unas botas adecuadas y ese frío me caigo y mejor dicho, y me dio tres vueltas y estaban en el basement y ahí no había calefacción y mucha gente, cosas de pronto que para ellos ya no las usan en ese momento, pero a mi me sirvieron mucho, entonces eso me brindó las la ciudad de Nashua en esos momentos, no el sentido como el como hay en otros estados que se siente como el racismo, la discriminación hace cerca.
Nosotros los inmigrantes.
La verdad que Nashua, no la he sentido.
Hay gente Ucrania, de Brasil, de Honduras y mucha gente de Colombia, de mi país.
Entonces nos reunimos, compartimos comida, escuchamos la música de Colombia, hacen unos bailes típicos.
Entonces todo eso me recuerda como a mi tierra.
Yo no hablaba ni inglés ni inglés, lo puedo decir y llegar acá sin poderme comunicar con otras personas es súper duro.
Entonces conocí una persona llamada Claudia.
Si tú la conoces y o que Nacho como Nicole sea clases, yo ok, voy a tomar y eso me abrió muchas puertas porque cuando no llegué acá, bueno, pues los trabajos que se ofrecen es de una cocina, son trabajos muy pesados, muy físicos, construcción, pero porque tú no hablas en inglés?
Entonces al ir aprendiendo el inglés se me fueron habiendo muchas puertas, me fui por ese lado.
Ahorita trabajo en una compañía, yo llamo a... Mayer, si puedes ir, es una compañía farmacéutica y sus beneficios son súper buenos.
Sus beneficios, el trato se siente, se siente el cambio.
Y cuando esta hablando con soy ahora, entonces es como una felicidad impresionante.
Gracias a lo que me aportó Nashua, ellos
