The idea was to establish Papillon in a crime hotspot, and we bought an old church property that we converted into a training and feeding center. Things started to work well in the early years, and we started to make great headway, but sad to say that it gradually grew worse. The last straw was when a guy stuck a gun into my neck and his partner with a big knife rifled my pockets and cleaned them out. Right at the front gate of the center in daylight. Later the police informed us that the two guys were killed in a shoot out at another robbery, but I knew that it was a signal for us to depart.

We sold the property to a big church movement that promised us that they will keep the projects at the center running, and so that was it, as we packed up and left.
