Bibi joined us in February as a volunteer from Eindhoven in the Netherlands. She spends her time assisting the social workers and working closely with the kids in the Sunflower ward. Her picture can speak a thousand words and this photo clearly reflects how well Bibi has fitted into the home and how valuable she is to our kids. We hope her stay with us is a memorable one.
Koen (R) and Robert (L) hale from the Netherlands and are joining the team as volunteers for four months. They will be assisting the fiscal department in designing a fiscal tracking system for our patients, and in helping to integrate patient reporting, donor support and fiscal reporting throughout St. Joseph’s. 
DFA Service in Zwolle, The Netherlands, is a dental care insurance company, and every Christmas they donate 1000 Euro’s to a charity. This year it’s their 15 year anniversary, they decided to donate 1500 Euro’s. They picked Stichting St. Joseph’s Home (St. Joseph’s Home Foundation in the Netherlands) after one of their employees, Gert Elders, visited St. Joseph’s with his family. 
In the picture you see Bart Elders, his son who lives here, handing over a cheque of 1500 Euro’s from DFA Service to Mark Wijsman, the President of the St. Joseph’s Home Foundation/The Netherlands (or Stichting St. Joseph’s Home).
