In 2010, the house (then still a rental) opened its doors and soon there were three men in the program, ready to start a new life.
In 2011, a few months after the launch of Traveling Light, we posted an appeal on our blog to raise funds for the purchase of a chainsaw.
And wow, a lot has happened since then. The purchase of that one chainsaw ultimately resulted in a professional company that cuts and prunes trees. A form of income for running the center.
Applying for permits and the right papers is a long-term process. Raising the necessary funds, in addition to the daily activities, was (and still is) a challenge. About a year ago, the news came that 70% of their monthly support (coming from the USA) would be stopped.
Last June, Jan visited (by motorcycle) and was so encouraged (as always) by the testimonies of the men!
