Will you come and cycle with our residents? (2024)

Join us during the Night of the RefugeeNLvoorelkaarCan you imagine it? That you have to leave everything behind from one day to the next? And flee headlong with your family, your neighbors or sometimes all alone to a destination that is still unknown?💔 Never before have so many people fled war, conflict and oppression. By participating in the Night of the Refugee, you commit yourself to them: you draw attention to their stories in a positive way and have your kilometers sponsored. The more money you raise, the more emergency aid we can provide together!!💪🏼 During the 2023 edition with no fewer than 5,500 participants, more than 1.3 million euros was raised! A fantastic amount! This allowed the Refugee Foundation to give Sudanese refugees, among others, access to clean (drinking) water and sanitary facilities. They also provided emergency aid packages for people who had to flee the earthquake in Turkey and Syria and supported them with, among other things, nutrition in Ethiopia and Burkina Faso.Are you also participating this year?

Are you going to the petting zoo with Niels?HandjehelpenNiels (11) is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves all animals. Also everything that drives; trains and cars interest him. Niels was born with a chromosome abnormality, which in his case means that he cannot see as we see. He has developmental delays and features of autism such as an increased fascination with certain subjects. He can marvel at beetles, spiders or a ladybug. He enjoys being outside, but would love to do this with someone every now and then. He misses someone to walk the dog with, cycle on his tandem bicycle, or travel by train. Do you also like the petting zoo? Then that would be absolutely great. Not only for Niels, but also for the rest of the family, because you can take some of the load off this way. Niels lives in Hoef en Haag.Regularly
