Nine years ago today, on April 22, 2017, foundation volunteers made their first work trip to Harbor of Refugee Light in seven years! It was made possible by the recently completed new dock - something we worked hard to get for many years. Since then, we make regular maintenance and restoration trips every year, and recently posted photos on this page show the great progress we've made. All thanks to our dedicated volunteers and supporters. Thank you!

A few photos from that memorable trip.
