War Child in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands, War Child sponsors the work of 'Foundation De Vrolijkheid'. This foundation promotes happy and creative activities for children and youngsters in the various centres for asylum seekers within the Netherlands. Although the Foundation is not able to change structural aspects in the lives of these young refugees, like uncertainty about the environment in which they live and the memories of the past. Therefore, the foundation focuses on the positive side of life. The aim is to boost the resilience of the children and youngsters involved in the program and give them the necessary tools to enter the future in a more balanced way. The Foundation hosts workshops that promote happiness, safety, resilience, and building trust. The Foundation aims to offer at least one weekly activtiy in which these areas are stimulated.
