Lõimumise ja kohanemise tugi Haapsalus persoonilugu India uussisserändajaga

Kishori

Kishori comes from the small town of Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, northern India, surrounded by mountains, ancient temples and colorful markets. The search for a safe and peaceful home brought him and his family to Estonia.

The quiet seaside life of Haapsalu reminded him of the calm rhythm of his hometown. This is his story of a journey from the mountains to the shores of the Baltic Sea and building a new life far from his birthplace.
