Kralenbeek 100 – Wanted: water

Peace dear folks,
We just got a phone call from one of the Brothers at Kralenbeek who asked if we could spread the word about the current water shortage due to some troubles with the pipelines. So if you’re one of the lovely people who’re spreading the word and/or donating supplies… please ask for/purchase bottles of water.

We’ll make sure to communicate the ‘statiegeld system’ to the gentlemen.

Public transportation to Kralenbeek 100: Subway 53 to subway station Kraaiennest.
Landmarks: The garage where the Brothers are staying is on the same street as the big mosque and right next to the big apartment building opposite of the shopping area.

List of much needed supplies – update

Dear folks,
Many thanks to all the people who blessed Kralenbeek 100 with some food, beverages and humanity these last few days. Yesterday we checked the supplies and with regards to peanut butter and chocolate spread the Brothers’ supply is impressive enough to last them at least 6 months. To keep matching the needs with the deliveries, here’s an updated list of what is and, at least for now, what isn’t needed.
