Natasha currently resides in Minsk and maintains a close bond with Catalonia after her childhood stay.
The young woman arrived in La Granja d'Escarp on the first reception trip from Belarus almost 30 years ago. Her integration into the community marked the beginning of a family relationship that endures to this day.
A family reunion three decades later
He lived under the care of the Rubio family during that period of humanitarian reception. The connection established then has withstood the passage of time and the geographical distance between both countries.
Natasha recently visited the family to meet Lorena's baby. This meeting once again personalized the bonds created in childhood and confirmed the validity of those affections.
Lorena is Natasha's twin sister within the foster program of those trips. Both girls shared the experience of adapting to a new environment far from their native country.
Memories of a childhood in Lleida
"I fondly remember the wonderful, warm, and incredible moments I was lucky enough to spend at La Granja with my dear family" - Natasha, Belarusian foster child
The woman recalled family excursions and vacations that included visits to the sea and water parks. The images of the mountains and peach orchards remain fresh in her visual memory.
He highlighted the variety of different foods that were unknown in Belarus at that time. The gastronomic discovery was an essential part of his cultural adaptation during the months of his stay.
He assured that he would return to that time without hesitation. This statement summarizes the positive assessment of an experience that defined part of his personal identity.
Professional career in Minsk
She has worked as a professional photographer for 15 years in the Belarusian capital. Her artistic eye was probably nourished by those first visual experiences in Catalan lands.
She combines this work with her job as a graphic and user interface designer. Her career demonstrates a solid professional evolution, far removed from her status as a foster child.
The memory of the peaches and the human warmth of La Granja d'Escarp remains alive. That emotional imprint now connects two generations through Lorena's newborn.
