𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺: 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺'𝘀 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁 When Karam joined our social studio, he brought 25 years of engineering experience — and one big goal: to truly build a new life in the Netherlands. But without Dutch, that future felt out of reach. Karam didn’t start learning the language for himself. He did it for his children — so he can help with their homework, talk with their teachers, and guide his family through everyday life. Thanks to his determination and our 'Language at Work' program, Karam is making powerful progress — from beginner to intermediate in just months. Support more journeys like Karam’s.

𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝘅 𝗛𝗩𝗢 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗼 On Tuesday evening, May 6, we joined the incredible team of HVO-Querido in Amsterdam for an outreach walk through the city. Together, we went out to check in on people experiencing homelessness—listening to their stories, seeing how they were doing, and offering help where we could. The evening was relatively warm for this time of year—but as we’ve learned time and again, warm evenings can still hold cold realities for those without a safe place to sleep. This time, we were there to help distribute Shelterbags—our lightweight, portable sleeping systems designed for milder weather. While temperatures are rising, the nights can still be cold, and sadly, a safe place to sleep is never guaranteed. The responses we received were heartwarming: “𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘭𝘭” one man said, clutching his new Shelterbag with a huge smile on his face. The moment he received it, his face lit up—and it’s exactly those moments that remind us why we do what we do. It was a night full of warmth and gratitude—but also a stark reminder: homelessness doesn’t end when winter does. People still sleep outside. People still suffer. That’s why our work continues—every day, all year round. ❤️ Donate now: https://hubs.la/Q03mWk320 Your donation can help provide more Shelterbags for those in need of protection and dignity.
