“You can hear the stories and realize that they are horrible things to have to experience,” remembers Ebels and of itself. “Some of them have obvious psychological help. But I’ll do it.”

in Spite of the difficulties, it was there are also a lot of fun made. To a bike shop and a barbershop were put in place.
