✨Kringlebakken 2 - i Tyskland✨
Se, hvilken fantastisk mail, der kom til os i dag. For 2 år siden, havde vi et dejligt udvekslingsbesøg af socialarbejdere fra Tyskland. Det er der kommet en Kringlebakken 2 ud af🥰
"Dear Lisbeth/Kringlebakken,
I hope this message finds you well - perhaps you still remember me. About two years ago, we had the pleasure of visiting you in Copenhagen, first at the Danish Refugee Council and then at your house, Kringlebacken.
That visit left a lasting impression on me. The idea behind your work, the warmth of the place, and everything you and your team have built there - I simply could not let it go. It stayed with me, quietly but persistently, until it eventually grew into a decision: to create something similar here in Stralsund.
I am delighted to tell you that it worked out. We successfully applied for funding - supported by a private foundation and the Deutsche Fernsehlotterie - and have been running the project for three years now with a team of three dedicated staff members. On 1 April of this year, we officially opened the doors to our new house. The response has been wonderful: we have already reached a number of women, and the feedback from the community has been truly encouraging.
I wanted to share this with you, because none of it would have come about without that visit to Kringlebacken. Thank you for the inspiration, and for the openness with which you welcomed us.
It would mean a great deal to us to stay connected - and who knows, perhaps there is even room for a small cooperation between our two houses. We would warmly welcome any form of exchange.
Best regards
Gerald"
