Well, hello there JNW Friends.
As some of you may know, our home & business were hit pretty hard by Cyclone Evan in December 2012, exactly 3 months ago today.
After allot of thought & consideration with respect to my Family, we have decided to wrap up JNW & move to Australia.
There is help for us in almost every direction we turn here in Apia to get up & running again, but me & Vanessa feel we need to use this opportunity we have for the betterment of our family, & at this time, if unfortunately, does not inc JNW.
This will surely be a hard turn for us financially & professionally, but we feel the benefits we will have as a family unit will far out weigh any losses we might incur along the way.
I still want to stay in the industry, & hope to be able to secure some good employment in Australia.
Eventually we will be back to Samoa, & more than likely, I'll get my wood shop going again, but for now we say thank you to everyone that has shown any form of support to JNW & myself over the past 14 years that I've been doing wood work here in Samoa, what a choice opportunity it has been, I am blessed, that is for sure, from you all.
I would esp like to thank Vanessa for her love & support from the days when I would only bring $50 a week home to the more financially stable days.. THANK YOU, you are an amazing person.
So for now I wish you all a very find adieu!!
John Nieuwenhuizen
