Increasingly often children in the Netherlands cannot participate in social activities, while their peers and friends can, due to financial constraints. This makes them feel excluded. Stichting Leergeld Apeldoorn-Voorst provides these children with the opportunity to also participate. With a donation of 8,500 Euros granted by the Thinkwise Foundation, 25 children are now able to play sports for an entire year, including the necessary sports equipment.
