7/18/2008 Porta Mosana Sponsor Walk
Do you know the Porta Mosana College in Gronsveld? We do! The youngsters at this school organized a benefit walk and raised the astonishing amount of € 2.634,77.
In our opinion this is a mind-boggling amount, which gave us all goose bumps when we found out about it. When you take into account that one single orange in Honduras costs 4 eurocents, imagine how much fruit (bucket loads!) we could buy for that.

What an experience!

When 14 Dutch 20 something girls had visited Proniño youth, they were collectively in love and decided that they wanted to do something more than only spend a day sharing time, games and hugs.
Soon enough, plans were made to organize an auction, and each of the young women was required to find a number of popular items to auction, as well as some "well walleted" friends to buy them back.

Rotary Winterswijk, eastern Netherlands, has again welcomed Homeless Child director Bas Wiersma as their guest on January 11. This service club has been supporting us relentlessly for the past four years and one of their members spends two months each year to volunteer with the children in Honduras.
Some Rotary members have walked the New York marathon in November 2007 and thanks to their enormous efforts they have not only made the finish, they have also collected 26.200 euro with fund raising activities. The money was equally divided between Homeless Child and a local hospice: De Lelie.
