AIM Auction
February, 2023
A super fun event in collaboration with AIM PPLE. But this wasn’t your regular charity auction – the board of AIM decided to help us raise money for our project REPTA, by completing different, mostly funny and embarrassing, challenges. There were legs being waxed, whipped cream smashed in faces and beer chugging competition.
Thanks to the brave committee of AIM, REPTA’s constructions were supported with a €150 to build and create a sanitary environment for children at the local primary school. Their lavatories and hand washing stations are expected to be implemented by the end of summer 2023.
You can check out our video of the event on our Instagram.

Valentine’s Day Rose Sale + Borrel with SES!
March, 2022
For Valentine’s Day, we decided to collaborate with Study association European Studies (SES), as they throw a yearly Valentine’s Day borrel. Together we organized a rose sale, of which the proceeds were donated to SfC. The students could either simply get a rose for someone else, or get a rose with a card as well. The roses were eventually handed out at the borrel, to friends, lovers, or people they just wanted to thank. The roses, about 80 of them, were graciously donated by EZ Flowers who have worked with SfC in the past as well. We ended up selling about 60 roses!
We would like to thank EZ Flowers for donating the roses and SES for donating their proceeds to us. All funds raised from the event will be used to sponsor one of our current projects.

Easter Egg Sale!
April, 2020
Due to the corona crisis, we couldn’t sell the Easter eggs as we had in mind since all gatherings are postponed until the crisis is over. So we decided to sell the eggs to our close family, relatives and friends, following the guidelines of the RIVM and GGD. Thanks to Tony Chocolonely, we received 18 kg of chocolate eggs to sell. We sold every ounce of chocolate, which resulted in a profit of around €350! We are very grateful for their sponsorship.
Charity ice-skating with Kiem Montessori
March, 2020
On 13th March, we went ice-skating with some of the students from Kiem Montessori. Each skating round was sponsored by family members, neighbours or friends. During the activity, each of the children received a paper and we stamped the rounds they made. The kids were very competitive because they got founding for every round they skated! So the kids wanted to skate as many rounds as possible! Some of the kids even skated for more than 35 rounds – Very athletic!
Crafting self-sufficient villages with Kiem Montessori
February, 2020
We gave a presentation and class exercise at Kiem Montessori on 25th February about our work as Students for Children. Kiem Montessori is a very creative school, the kids have access to a creative working space, where they can create their own creativities during the week for school purposes. We asked the children to craft self-sufficient towns based on countries where our projects are located. Particularly, they had to consider how people create their living in the countries like in Uganda, India or Honduras. The kids had to brainstorm about water use, electricity and their budget for creating a self-sufficient village.
