Petra's extras

Dear Family,

it is my pleasure to introduce myself to you.
My name is Petra, currently I am a MA student in theatre making focusing on thetare and communities. At the age of 19 I worked as a personal carer for an elderly couple and I keep claiming that this time period was the most enriching time of my life. It took some times to find the essence of their happiness, but once I found it I worked with it. We sang, we danced, we played cards and all sort of different games, and we talked. It was about the mutual sharing and this is the key for my work. I can offer real carrying, because true carrying is, in fact, sharing :) I also worked on international project, where I spent time with people with dementia and through the use of drama activities we helped the elders to maintain their cognitive thinking, however, the main principle was to show them that elders are important to us. And that's my belief. I would be happy to contribute on someone's inner wealth. I am very energetic, positive and vivid, always ready to send love and to share it.
