Gdansk NGO Helps Foreigners Settle In

Center for Immigrant Support (CWIiI) started in December 2012 as an informal group of people engaged with foreign integration who wanted to help foreigners coming to Gdansk with their settling in and various everyday issues, including legal. Now they're going official and forming and NGO.
According to Marta Siciarek, the co-founder of CWIiI, the most often questions posed by the foreigners concern their employee rights, children's education and obtaining residents card.
CWIiI are now establishing cooperation with local institutions. Siciarek points out that the aim is to establish a center dedicated to complex aid and information for foreigners, as even Poles are often confused and lost when facing officials, not to mention somebody from out of the country.
CWIiI point out that foreigners are still 'invisible' in Poland, hence the notion there are none. If Gdansk is to become a truly open and European city, it issue to be worked at, point out the CWIiI.
