We all find ourselves at a loss for words more times in our life. Because of joy, sadness or without any reason we could identify. Being speechless, we need to find other ways to express our messages. With a gesture, mimic, or simply mumbling “I have no words”.

But what happens when it is not a brief, but a lasting time? What can one do when the words keep on missing to understand, to share, to express? How can one find the way to others like so? Our team and partnership are built up from professionals who are there to help others who do not speak a common language and who have issues and stories where words don’t come easily.
