None of our guests were professionals, we had not done a screen test, we had no idea how they\u2019d respond in real life. Would they freeze? Would they say nothing? Would they even show up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We needn\u2019t have worried. From the very first interview, we were drawn right into their stories. They dug deep into their feelings and responded to our questions with charm, honesty and grace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They discussed not only their positive feelings from money transfers\u2014pride, joy, happiness\u2014but their negative ones: annoyance, frustration, sadness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We heard about ambitions fulfilled and frustrated. Homelands far away but held close. How they\u2019ve made a new home in a foreign land.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a beautiful few days that we\u2019ll never forget. You can see them all for yourself, right here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you\u2019re reading this\u2014Wheezy, Aga, Jurate, Viktoriya, Angela, Oana, Bismarck, Esra, Carmela, Hardy, Nataliya, Naimah, Manar\u2014thank you, once again, for opening up to us with such humour and warmth.&nbsp; It was a real privilege to work with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funny how, in this age of machine learning and data, artificial intelligence and science, it\u2019s the human stories that still grab us.&nbsp;Maybe more than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you ready to see the results?
