A warm "hello" from Graz!

We are a couple of women who would like to participate at palaver-connected:Liberia_Austria and are glad you agreed to be our partners! Today we had our first meeting in Austria in the women’s café palaver-connected.
After getting to know each other we talked about what we know about Liberia and found out it’s very little but we are very interested to learn from you!
There are so many questions!
We want to learn from our every-day’s life, some of us are keen on getting recipes. We want to know if you have children or about your work, what your city is like, about women’s rights in Liberia, …
But firstly we’d like to introduce ourselves a little to give you an idea to whom you are talking:
Angelika is 32, married and has a baby-son. She used to work as elementary school teacher but is staying at home now with the baby. At present she has no time for hobbies as the little is very demanding but if there rests some time she loves horse riding.
Birgit is 31, married and coordinator of palaver-connected womens’s café. She loves travelling in West Africa and is keen on going to Liberia too one day.
Erika is 32 and a psychologist. She is interested in religion, reading and being in the nature.
Iris is 21 and studying education science and gender studies. She has a dog and is sharing an apartment with 2 friends. She loves cooking and always looking for new recipes.
Maria is 57, married, has a grown-up daughter and has already retired from her job. She loves reading and gardening and taking a walk.
We are looking forward to exchanging opinions with you a lot!
Yours,
Angelika, Birgit, Elke, Iris, Maria
