I want to introduce a foundation to all of you readers. It is called: Stichting Gastouders Hongarije. Let me explain. It is a foundation who gives the possibillity to little orphan children in Hungary to spent fourteen days twice a year in "normal" houses with "normal" families. These children, from 3 years old to 17, 18, live in orphan homes ocross Hungary and are totaly on their own. My wife has been there last year. These kids have nothing to play with, are dressed in old clothes and most of the children has no future at all, because of the lack of education and warm family. So, some families in Holland have such a child during the summer and with Christmas, so they'll never forget what it is like to be a part of a family. These orpan homes need little things like toys, stuff to tinker with (?) and so on. So if you wish to help a foundation like that, you can buy this lolly and I will donate all of the money to the foundation. There is a website (only in Dutch), you can read all about it here. There are pictures, too. They really need it. We've got a girl from Hungary ourselves twice a year. This is "our" Anna. She is 7 years old and a lovely little rascal.
You may bid on this painting during this month and on January 4th I hope I can donate all the money to the foundation. I will thank you for it.
