Why we need a house in brussels?

Brussels is the capital of Flanders, Belgium and the European Union

Any serious organization has an office in Brussels

ISKCON has been present on/off in Brussels since 1977 – always a rented place - so better to have our own house

We have many practitioners and sympathizers that come regularly to our programs in Brussels

There is a possibility of building out one extra room on the roof as it was done some years ago by the neighbor
