When I saw the approach of Baytna and started thinking about my experience as a child, I would have loved if I, as a child, had this chance to be in Baytna. One of the things that affected my life was that I was always afraid, things were happening around me and I was always afraid. I would have loved if I was in this place, these 2 hours would have made a big difference in my life because it was a safe place.
