"I feel strong, more happy and more active"

We asked three My Moves participants to share their experiences of the course. Here is what they had to say.

“I really liked the English classes and all the opportunities. I like the exercise and using the laptops. I like how there are many things to do, so I am not bored. The teachers are so good. I am very active now because of the dance and I look forward to the classes. Even if it is raining, I make sure I am there. The communication is very very good. Before starting, I felt the loneliness. Now I don’t feel lonely. I feel more strong, more happy and more active.”

“I like My Moves because there are lots of opportunities. I learned how to use laptops and how to feed my body and be healthy and how to speak English. I learned lots of things from My Moves. It has helped me speak English confidently and friendly. We talk about our culture, how to help each other, how to exercise and health eating. I felt lonely and had anxiety. I was afraid to go out. Having laptops to use helped overcome my loneliness. I really love meeting with the group.”

“I like the My Moves classes, talking and exercising, and using the computer online. Learning how to use Google Maps was a bonus. I am confident using it for the train and bus by myself. I like My Moves because the staff call me up, treat me really well and are checking up on me. Even if the computer didn’t work, I called up and got assistance straight away. I felt important. I had something to look forward to each week. At the beginning I felt isolated. There was lots of communication with phone calls and online classes. I attended twice a week which help with my isolation.”
