An important lesson in life
A special mention goes out to 16 year old Medalit, who managed to get her first German FairMail card. A big motivator for her and proof that the improved motivation she was showing over the past few months, does pay off with something positive she can be proud of. A life lesson we hope Medalit will remember.
