What do you think?
Publish date 28-10-2023
We asked friends who come to the Arsenale dell'Armonia every day to tell us what they think, some such beautiful thoughts came out that we are transcribing them as they are.
I like being in this place because so many things are done. I enjoy bagging cookies and gardening and baking.
I feel happy when I know that I have to come to Pecetto because I feel welcomed. I associate this place with a hug because it makes me think of friendship.
I love making cookies and eating them too! I feel happy when I'm here.
I like working with the volunteers and the inhabitants of the house. In Pecetto sometimes Marco gets bored and sometimes he has fun.
I like telling people what we do. I like dogs. I feel good because I'm in company, time passes quickly when I'm at the Arsenale. If I had to associate the Arsenale with an image, I would associate it with a framework for the environment that surrounds us. If I had to associate the Arsenale with an emotion I would associate it with joy.
I like going to Pecetto, I like breakfast!
I discovered that I'm very good at putting biscuits in the bag!
It is a place where I feel welcomed, where I feel useful to others. I like the work group because I have fun. When I'm in the Arsenale time passes quickly. I already worked in the canteen and I like being able to do it here too.
It's an experience to do even every day because there are so many different jobs to do. I get along well with everyone because they make me feel at ease. I feel like family.
I really like going to the Arsenale because in addition to getting along very well with the volunteers who sometimes lend us a hand, like Mrs. Angelica, Anna or Laura, I'm also learning various things. For example: that behind the preparation of a package of biscuits there is a lot of work, starting from stamping and putting labels on the biscuit bags, then putting the right amount of biscuits inside, when closing them. Not to mention who prepares them. Then my talkative nature makes it easy for me to relate to everyone, even when we have to go around markets or fairs. What to say? I feel very comfortable going to the Arsenale. If I were to associate an image with the Arsenale it could be hands joining in front of a heart surrounded by musical notes alternating with flowers, plants and biscuits.
