Het Tweede Huis Reviews

Great place to come to yourself and you will be helped with a new start

Today, Tuesday, March 27, 2018, wonderfully exploring the area of Nederasselt. Beautiful hidden place on the Maas with Grave on the other side, the locks around the corner and plenty of nature. I have known it here for years but will take a closer look today.
Via the beautiful Maasmolen, the Maas dike with fantastic views and views to the left and right, I come to Stichting het Tweede Huis. Next to it is a large church, of the seven apostles I believe, and a neatly maintained graveyard.
I can't get to the Second House, but through the fence I get into a conversation with an elderly man who is working in the garden together with other older men. He is nice and friendly and tells me that this house used to be a large nunnery, but now belongs to a Foundation that provides temporary shelter seven days a week for people who are not at home or in other difficult circumstances. They are supported by volunteers who guide them, arrange things for them, provide a listening ear. He says that one can stay here for a maximum of one year.
He is one of the volunteers who come to work in the gardens a few times a week. He says he has to go back to work. I thank him, I know enough, I also have to continue. Although I don't know exactly where.

A great organization! Grateful for everything that was offered and happened to me there.

Thanks employees of "My" Second home,
the hospitality, security and your love 21 months that I have been allowed to live with you.
Now also know why I went to live in an old monastery ..........
Without you many men, women, children would have no accommodation.

I am eternally grateful to you for this opportunity and trust, ........ Yv
