Here’s a quick update from Liana Põld, Executive Director of Sunbeam.

The construction work continues at Sunbeam. Here you can see the pictures. Sadly, I think by 1 June we will not be ready to open.

Elena and Ursula work every day in the office; we plan our future work, prepare documents, etc. Ursula is working with Sirli in the city administration. Together with Elena they are writing grant proposals to get operating funds from different sources.

Also, we are organizing an Open House on 1 June. We are inviting people, making a little program, will have a concert, and if some children come we are ready to do activities with them, crafts, games…

Sunbeam is entering the final part of the first phase of renovation, preparing to open the doors. Hopefully we’ll be up and running in June or early July. We are in need of financial support for operating expenses. If you’d like to support this project (or any other Stoneworks program) please visit our Support page.
