 Our monthly Team Project for January was scheduled to take Place at the “Resto van Harte” in Schiemond on Tuesday 26th. Resto van Harte works with volunteers and twice a week offers a three course dinner for a very affordable price in order for people of the neighborhood to socialize and feel part of the community. Since the concept of Resto van Harte goes along perfectly with our Team’s Vision of creating a Culture of Service we had the Idea of helping to organize and execute one dinner event. |

04/12/2009 Ezekiel Pobanz had the main responsibility over our first own project as a team and he also came up with the idea what we could do, where and with whom. We started to organise it around two and a half weeks before the actual date it was planned to take place. The idea was to create calendars and cards with elderly people, which they could give as gifts to their grandchildren or other people on Sinterklaas. |

A few of us from YSI Utrecht have been in contact with an elderly home in Transwijk. We’ve had a couple of meetings with the activities manager Mikkie and Cooking an English breakfast was the first project we came up with. This was perfect for an English man such as myself.

18th Nov. 2009 A 450 hecta country estate belongs to the Kasteel de haar, the biggest castle in the Netherlands. It's history goes back more than 100 years ago. So it's important to the people living there, as well as the property itself, that it's kept in good shape. Since it's such a big estate, it's not surprising that it's difficult for the people to upkeep it. That's where we join the story. |
