A Charity event was organized on December 18th by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs in favour of Serious Request. Every year 3 DJs of Radio 3FM go into the Glass House to raise money for charity. This time the collected money was destinated for the generation of the future in war and conflict areas under the slogan: “Keep them going”.

During the event in The Hague homebaked products were sold by employees, friends, family and many contacts of the Ministry. It was a nice celebration where everybody met each other in a friendly atmosphere. Many went home with a remarkable amount of delicacies.
The guests got a warm welcome by Mr. Johan Verboom, Deputy Director of the Europe department, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He said to be surpised by the great support of so many people showing their compassion. Several embassadors came personally or sent representives. The guests enjoyed the tartes, cakes and cookies.
The result—more than expected—was € 1039.-
