We care about Community

Relocating and moving your family to a new country can be a daunting experience, and every day challenges can become overwhelming. The goal of Jody is to provide new families with access to a supportive community who have all been through the same experiences.  

 

​This is how Aegeri High Heels (AHH) community was created.  

We feel once a family is settled and supported they will then have the support to venture more into the local community by joining clubs, attending events and feeling connected.

 

When relocating to a new country we need to learn about our new home; and it is just as important to understand the culture & beliefs, as it is to learn where to find the grocery store.  

 

Ägeri High Heels was founded on 2012 and is a community of people who willingly share their knowledge, experience and friendships to those who need it, whether you have been in Ägeri for 5 minutes, or 5 years.  

​

Take a deep breath, trust in yourself  – we got you!

Jody has helped international families relocating into Ägeri Valley since 2012 through the Ägeri High Heels Community.  She has been provided a platform for relocating women and their families to connect with other families who are going through, or have been through, similar challenges. 

 

Ägeri High Heels uses a private Facebook group as a forum for conversation and support as well as a What's app chat.  New members can apply to join both. 

​

All the events, activities and programs are aimed at bringing women together and providing them with the opportunity to find their tribe, settle into their new community, and build life-long friendships along the way.

  • Learn more about the community we live in and its traditions.

  • Practice speaking a second language to a variety of native speakers.

  • Gain more confidence when speaking a second language.
