"Avec les gens,
plutôt que pour eux."

#Meetthefamily: Nieves, our dear #OneHappyFamily Mama.
She always brought all of us together with a smile, her energy for the project inspired all of us.

Please take a minute to read her important wish and message to all of you.

My wish:
'I know I'm not the first one to say this, but it's a common feeling among people in the field (or, like in my case, who have been in the field), I wish projects like One Happy Family weren't necessary.'
My message to you, reader:
'As what I said above unfortunately doesn't seem likely to happen any time soon, I'd like to see European citizens, like me, putting pressure on our local and national politicians and on those representing us at European institutions. Get yourself informed, see what's going on on our doorstep, and push for change.'

Thank you Nieves for inspiring us everyday and being the person you are. We miss you!💛
