The week has been very hectic due to establishing founding for the project. The meeting with the Mayor of Oslo was very positive and we have a great ambassador in him. We are also flabbergasted by the fact that Mr Husebye did succeed in getting support from Stensland Brokers. We are also getting economic support from Holst Legat.

It shows that we also in Norway we can get the support we need to succeed. We will from this week contact a lot of Norwegian firms to establish the rest, and in a month the house over Mohawk will be finished. The work will start by ordering the proper wood. In the end of this week, or in the beginning of next week, we will have a meeting with the City Counsel in Oslo. We have left behind a very important and successful week, and we are proud of the progression so far.

During this last week we have established a lot of new hope for Mohawk. There are so many competent people who are contributing in this work – too many, not to get this boat sailing next summer. We have faith in what to do and where to go next – and the spring season gives us the light spirit and the sensation of hope that we need.

The most important thing in the time to come is to give faith to those who still might linger and to get the financial support we need to start the real work – to start rehabilitating our proud lady.
