A local group of doctors held a meeting on our premi\u00adses and a group of GIZ staff stay\u00aded with us for two days. Some indi\u00advi\u00addu\u00adals also enjoy\u00aded the silence in the beau\u00adtiful\u00adly prepared buil\u00adding, which has been reno\u00adva\u00adted in many parts.

Also a nice pergo\u00adla took place over a seating area in the garden. Now Isra\u00adel has post\u00adpo\u00adned entry for tourists for another month and instead of July, the first foreign visi\u00adtors are to come back to our coun\u00adtry in August.
