A new beginning

Just over a year ago, the Anglican Church in Leuven, which is comprised of many students and several families, agreed to work together with Sant’Egidio and Humanitarian Corridors to welcome refugees for the next year. There was a lot of work to prepare. Then, the first family arrived. Thankfully, they were able to be registered legally in Belgium and moved in Antwerpen in November 2023. A second family arrived just days later. Again, they have gone through a succesful procedure to have their status recognised by the Belgian government and just this past week, they moved to an apartment in Brussels. With their move, the 1 year agreement to help with resettlement has ended. The Central Committee would like to thank the incredible team of volunteers from St. Martha & St. Mary’s, Leuven for all their hard work.
