We think it is necessary to have an office where we can work and use the space for conducting trainings. In addition, we would like to mention that we will need one laptop and monthly bus passes for the Administrative Manager. We are also satisfied with our collaboration with the accounting services and we intend to work with them in future.

Also, there are plans for holding team building, which will improve the working atmosphere in order to have better cooperation with the employees and the volunteers.
