Them boys strong for #samsplan. Keep going!
Last Sunday, Flip van de Westeringh and I ran the marathon of Enschede. We also did this to raise money and gain attention for Stichting Samsplan. Thanks KLABU for sponsoring the shirts! The Samsplan Foundation was founded in memory of Sam van Grondelle (1994-2023). He has always worked to give refugees a soft landing in the Netherlands. With this initiative, we as family and friends continue his efforts. More information: https://samsplan.nl/. A donation would be very generous! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Samsplan: Sports associations play an essential role in Dutch society. They are at the heart of social interaction, community building, and community involvement. For young status holders who have to start over in a foreign country, club life can be a valuable place to get to know the Dutch culture and meet new people. Amateur football clubs often suffer from a shortage of volunteers. Samsplan organizes training for status holders at these football clubs. Status holders can also become volunteers within sports associations. In this way, status holders are actively involved in football clubs and are given a meaningful role within these sports associations.
