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: &#8220;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!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content__col content__col--image\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dutchflowerfoundation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Nova-4-Senses-Stoel-1280x720.jpg\" alt=\"Nova - 4 Senses Stoel\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n\t<div id=\"\" class=\"content content--left content--grey\">\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content__text wysiwyg\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>More about the projects of Dutch Flower Foundation<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n\t<div id=\"\" class=\"spacer spacer--white spacer--negative\"><\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n\t<div id=\"\" class=\"card card--center card--grey card--basic card--full \">\n\n\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__container\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-post-type=\"projects\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-post-per-page=\"4\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-post-max-pages=\"6\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-post-text-more=\"Load more\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-post-text-loading=\"loading ...\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-post-text-done=\"Unloaded\"\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__item animate__animated animate__bounceInUp\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__category card__category--housing\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"heart\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-heart fa-w-16\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M462.3 62.6C407.5 15.9 326 24.3 275.7 76.2L256 96.5l-19.7-20.3C186.1 24.3 104.5 15.9 49.7 62.6c-62.8 53.6-66.1 149.8-9.9 207.9l193.5 199.8c12.5 12.9 32.8 12.9 45.3 0l193.5-199.8c56.3-58.1 53-154.3-9.8-207.9z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHousing\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__image \">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dutchflowerfoundation.nl\/en\/projects\/amecet-foundation-in-uganda\/\" >\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dutchflowerfoundation.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/iris-960x960.jpg\" alt=\"Amecet Foundation in Uganda\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__text\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Amecet Foundation in Uganda<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>21.10.2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"dotdotdot\">Hi!
