This week, Inna, 47, and Liudmyla, 49, will start intensive French training.
In total, 175 hours over a month.
Even if they already manage to make themselves understood, they must above all master the technical vocabulary of personal services.
Knowing how to name a medical bed, being able to raise the alarm... So many prerequisites required of these two forty-year-olds, who arrived two years ago in Lorraine after the start of the war in Ukraine, and who have just embarked on training to become a home helper in Villers-lès-Nancy (Meurthe-et-Moselle).
“I want to get involved in contact, it’s important for me,” says Liudmyla, who came from Dnipro, and who, before the war, ran a tourism agency.
Inna arrived from Karkhiv, with her mother and daughter.
This former psychologist wants to “continue to help”.
Both are among the nine Ukrainians that the Cities and Services association oversees.
