A WONDERFUL FAMILY

Volunteer at Myrtillo Café.
Hello friends, my name is Irini! I am 27 years old and I have been volunteering at Myrtillo for one year through a social work program. I have studied Nutrition and Dietetics, and I am here to help in any way and wherever I can, to bring new ideas, and to make this beautiful space even more creative, open, and welcoming. I look forward to meeting you in person and enjoying an excellent coffee together!
