Kinderdienstencentrum De Lotusbloem
Dutch Flower Foundation has committed itself for 3 years to children’s service center De Lotusbloem in Aalsmeer (part of Ons Tweede Thuis foundation) with an annual contribution. The first contribution was used to purchase a ‘4-senses acoustic chair’. This chair reduces environmental stimuli, allowing you to relax in your own safe environment.
An employee at OZ Planten in Aalsmeer (part of Dutch Flower Group), told Ferro van Dam about our foundation. His daughter Nova is 5 years old and has multiple disabilities and attends a wonderful school called De Lotusbloem.
About De Lotusbloem
De Lotusbloem is a foundation where children with a combination of disabilities can go for support and education. It is a place where children receive a lot of care, can develop themselves and above all, they have fun and enjoy life. Ferro van Dam: “It is also a place that provides some peace of mind for the families of these children. All of Aalsmeer can be proud of this school!”
There are many products on the market that can make the lives of the children a lot easier and more fun, but often they require just a little more money than is available in the foundation. Therefore, all help, such as from Dutch Flower Foundation, is welcome.
