LOGO – The swallow
This is what our logo stands for: in many cultures, the swallow symbolises a friend and indispensable helper in difficult situations, the possibility of a harmonious life together with lots of love, trust, and security as well as the spreading of optimism and hope.
If the swallow flies into a person’s life, this heralds a happy change and the chance to see everything from a different perspective.
However, it is also said that ‘one swallow does not make a summer’. We can’t work magic and find a solution for everything, but we can join forces as neighbours and friends and help to break down barriers.
