This afternoon we sent the first Curriculum Vitae (CV) of my friend Goumbala Mbacké Serigne to Unicoop Florence asking for a stable work. Actually he is volunteering as a civil helper at Unicoop’s major competitor Esselunga S.p.A. Last time I brought him good luck, when Italian authorities eventually granted him a residence permit, after seven or so years of waiting. And this time I hope I’ll see more of him at Unicoop, so maybe it will be up to him to offer me coffee.
