Our team has been actively volunteering for diverse projects across Amsterdam, thanks to Stichting NL Cares. Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting 20 enthusiastic students from an elementary school in Amsterdam Zuid Oost at our office. Together, we crafted a business plan, which the children presented themselves. It was great witnessing the entrepreneurial creativity!   Stichting NL Cares is a flexible volunteer platform empowering individuals and organizations to volunteer in a simple and accessible manner, all with the mission of fostering a caring society.

Last week we had the honour of hosting Forward Inc.'s growth program. We provided a fundraising training to passionate entrepreneurs and gave the founders the chance to practice their (investment) pitch.   Forward Inc Is an inspiring organisation devoted to helping people with a refugee background to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. They do this by empowering them to launch, grow, fund, and sustain their own businesses and providing them the tools, such as these types of trainings, to succeed.   The enthusiasm and drive showcased by all the founders was truly inspiring, leaving a lasting impression on everyone involved.
