Separated from his children for four years, Pilunguaq Olsen barely dares to start hoping for. For the first time for a long time, this 38 -year -old Greenlandaise, domiciled in Aalborg, in northern Denmark, has just received good news. On March 24, social services informed her that she could now see her children once a week, instead of twice a month. She is also authorized to attend the handball games of her 13 -year -old daughter, placed with her 11 -year -old brother in a host family, while their 6 -year -old sister lives with another Danish family.
