Ana from Slovenia

Written by Susanne.

Havdej to everyone!

I'm Ana, I'm 20 years old, and I'm from a small country, Slovenia. I had a simple life here, time to time that was totally ok for me, until I went to Easter open house in Tvind. It was amazing. The people and the place was just to hug, and my big wish was to become a part of DNS. Slovenia cannot give me the kind of things, experiences, and that kind of OPEN education and knowledge, as DNS.

My big wish is also to work with people, who have drug problems. In past I lost two very close friends because of drugs. Not physically but psychologically. That was very hard for me and during my heart-washing situations, I was thinking about questions: WHY? WHO? WHERE? HOW? I want to help that kind of people, I want to understand them, talk to them, find solutions and other better goals and things to do… And DNS can also give me that!

It's also great, because DNS is not vertical. DNS is horizontal. That's means, it's not just standing still and waiting, but it takes action! I want to be active, I want to do something, that is good for others and also for me.

I'm writing this profile a few days before I will go to Tvind. It's hard to leave everything; home, my band, youth centre, friends, town, theatre group, Malva coffee… But I decided to change my way of life and join DNS. My "batteries" are full so let's get started! ;)
