    World Wish Day Make-A-Wish Netherlands

    Hanneke Verburg, CEO of Make-A-Wish Nederland and her colleagues, opened the stock exchange by sounding the gong for World Wish Day.

    World Wish Day

    Every year on the 29th of April Make-A-Wish celebrates World Wish Day all over the world. In 1980 Make-A-Wish fulfilled their first wish for the 7-years old Chris. His heartfelt wish, ‘being a police officer’, was made possible by the whole community.

    In 1989 Make-A-Wish Nederland fulfills their first wish, the wish of the10-year old Cindy. She wanted to attend the very popular tv-show ‘Zeg ‘ns AA’. An enthusiastic nurse from The Hague Juliana Children’s Hospital referred her wish. Friends from the foundation raised the money needed by organizing a sponsored cycling tour. Like a real movie star, Cindy was allowed to visit the set of her favorite tv-show and took a picture with the star of the show ‘Mien Dobbelsteen’. The rest is history. 

    Make-A-Wish Netherlands

    With more than 400 volunteers we realize over 600 wishes for children, between the age of 3 and 18 years old, with a life-threatening illness every year. We believe a wish experience can be a game-changer, it provides the children and their entire families with strength and energy for the future. That’s what Make-A-Wish Nederland has been doing for the past 30 years! 2019 is the 30th jubilee of Make-A-Wish Nederland and this is something the organization commends by organizing extra festive activities throughout the year.

    Campaign WereldOuders wins two awards during the Dutch Creativity Awards 2019

    In recognition of this, the stock exchange will be opened by Pauline Lemberger, Ambassador Frits Sissing, Board Member Taco Ketelaar and Michiel Klein-Schiphorst of Advertising Agency epidemie.

    Keep Dreams Alive and donate a virtual balloon

    The campaign video #KeepDreamsAlive of WereldOuders has rewarded two silver Lamps during the Dutch Creativity Awards 2019. This award confirms that the campaign video of WereldOuders belongs to the very best in creativity, advertising and design!

    A very touching video, recorded in Mexico, draws attention to millions of children in Latin America whose dreams never come true because of poverty, violence, and abuse. The video shows – by means of balloons – how these children lose their dreams and hopes. WereldOuders asks for financial support by means of the donation of a virtual balloon. These donations will be used for establishing a warm and safe home for these vulnerable children and to create chances so their dreams may come true.

    About WereldOuders

    WereldOuders believes in the power of family. Every child deserves attention and unconditional love. The foundation provides a lasting place to call home for vulnerable children, so they have the chance to get a better future. With a safe family-home as a basis, all children receive individual attention and support in the area of healthcare, education and autonomy. Currently, more than 7.000 children are taken care of in nine Latin American countries;  Bolivia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru.

    The Family Enterprises Foundation was founded in 2012 to support Dutch family companies. These enterprises are the backbone of the Dutch economy. Family businesses deserve more attention from both the Dutch government and general public, as they are responsible for 49% of the employment and realize 53% of the gross domestic product. To create this awareness, the foundation yearly awards one family company with the so called ‘Familiebedrijven Award’. The Foundation is supported by KPMG and ABN AMRO, both financially and in the process of the selection of the winner. KPMG does the first selection of potential candidates based on 8 criteria and the prerequisite that the company is a true family company (definition of the European Committee).  The selected companies will be visited by the jury of the Foundation. Afterwards the jury will choose a winner. The Chief Executive Officer of the winning company will join the jury for a period of one year.
