Various activities have been planned for this purpose, but the most successful of them has been regular visits, through which trusting relationships have been nurtured. These visits became easier to carry out when one member of the community moved to the neighbourhood. In her opinion, befriending people from other cultures is simply a matter of taking the time to learn about their customs and appreciating them.
