“We developed a great partnership with Tri-pulley and their contribution to our mission is evident in all aspects of our work. We appreciate their creative approach to help five skilled unemployed individuals find in our libraries an adequate workplace to develop their skills and serve the community. Their work as cataloguers and storytellers was highly regarded and crucial to enable Assabil to successfully respond to the various challenges facing it.”

“Clowning days are not only coloring the streets and the people, but also are making us feel better and regenerate energies to be able to never stop dreaming. The experience with Tri-pulley is very uncomplicated, built on trust and common aim to bring light to the people and the streets during the accumulation of sad events in the country…. reminding the people through clowning how important it is to smile, to say hey, i love you, to be together, play together, create together, and most importantly, to be there for each other, without expecting anything in return.”
