Initiatives

The Hague Generally

• The National Instrument Fund (NMF) is currently collecting instruments for refugees who are temporarily in the Netherlands. These are often donations, sometimes also loans. The NMF is originally an organization for top instruments for top musicians, but for this action the bar is a bit lower. We do not work with toy instruments, but with good, usable instruments for professional musicians and music students, but also for ambitious amateurs or music school students. The reason for our action was the war in Ukraine, but the action is emphatically intended for all refugees. brought: https://www.muziekinstrumentfonds.nl/page/13814/dankbaar-voor-alle-i.

Donate Clothes

• Donate your clothes to Leger des heils. The Salvation Army is not specific to Ukraine, but if you donate clothes there, it will end up well anyway. If you want to donate clothes to another organization, check whether they really want clothes. At the Salvation Army they always want clothes.

• Stichting Eet Mee has been bringing people together at the diner table for cozy dinners since 2009. Since the start of the war, many Ukrainians have come to the Netherlands, where they live in people's homes or in one of the many refugee centers in the country. To give them a carefree evening and to escape from an environment with little privacy, we organize with Ukrainians at the Table. In The Hague we are now looking for cozy dining addresses to join us sometime. Residents of The Hague receive one or more Ukrainian refugees for a cozy dinner at their home. They cook something delicious for their guests or do it together with them. They meet the people behind the stories in the news. It is nice for them to be in a homely setting again and to get acquainted with locals and their culture and the opportunity to build a social network. You can register at: www.eetmee.nl. We make a tailor-made match and give tips to make a dinner a success.
