💡 About the duo
“For us people who don't speak French well, it's not easy. If the person is not patient, they cannot listen to us. She has patience. She listens to me. #analphabétisme”
Mabinty, like 5% of the mentees we support, can't read or write. Originally from Guinea, she arrived at DUO for a JOB with already a specific objective in mind: to follow a training course as a domestic helper.
When meeting her mentor, Olga, her first reaction was to ask How could a Spanish mentor who knew nothing about Belgium be able to help him! But Olga's patience and empathy convinced Mabinty that she would be the ideal person to help him find employment.
