Hints & Tips

Did some thing give you inspiration for your project / action / enterprise?

I always wanted to work with people and for the people and especially for those who are at a disadvantage, large families, volunteers, children and rural youth and the socially excluded. I always try to see other people and care for the needy. I'm not a businesswoman, but fulfillment of parliamentary mandate is a very useful tool that I try to use as much as possible to help the needy.
