Successful collection for Help Dog Netherlands by Hooghuis school De Singel
Oss – Makes every year The Hooghuis De Singel working hard for a good cause. This time the students Help Dog Netherlands arise. By organizing various fundraising campaigns, they collected a nice amount of 2,529.70 euros for charity.
New assistance dog for the foundation
The check for 2,529.70 was handed over by the students to Patricia Reijkers on Wednesday 20 July, who received it on behalf of Hulphond Nederland. As a foundation, Hulphond Nederland is committed to people’s needs by supporting them with an assistance dog and systemic experiential therapy. “With the amount that has been collected, we can take in a dog again and finance the 1-year training,” says Patricia enthusiastically.
Everything out of the closet
To get the nice amount together, the students and staff really roll up their sleeves. Birdhouses were built, dried bouquets were arranged, and plenty of cards and bags were made; all for sale. The school meant a real clothing market, for which the students collected, selected and resold clothing. As every year, the proceeds from the school canteen also went completely into the donation box.
Really part of society
De Singel is a school for practical education. In real learning situations, the young people gain important experiences for their future. It’s extra nice when you make a wonderful contribution to the effort with that effort! The students are proud of the result and Patricia concludes: “Helphond Nederland keeps in touch throughout the year, so that the students also see what is being achieved with the proceeds.”
