Zaid (9) saved coots from boys who threw it over

The Animal Ambulance Amsterdam and his mother are very proud of 9-year-old Zaid. The normally shy boy intervened when he saw a group of older boys throwing up two coots. "I did not like to see that, because animals also have a life," he says himself.
It was not the first time that Zaid called the animal ambulance, but it was the most exciting. Earlier he called once for a dog that had clearly lost its owner. And also once for an injured bird. But when he went to play football a few days ago, he saw that some boys were throwing two birds. Zaid knows the boys from the neighborhood, they are a little older than him. "I think there was an 11 and the others 10."
"They played with the birds, and then they threw them. Then they put them away for a while. Then I quickly picked them up and went home with them."
Zaid was especially very sad that others had hurt the animals. "He came in crying," says his mother. "He said we should call the animal ambulance."
The animals were dazed and probably had severe headaches, which prevented them from holding their heads up, explains an employee of the animal ambulance. They have been taken to the bird sanctuary, where they are well cared for. How they are doing now is not yet clear. But chances are, according to the animal ambulance, that they will make it. "They need good care, the right warmth, food and love. And they get it there."
Zaid and his mother are surprised by the large amount of positive reactions that Zaid is now getting, including on social media. "I thought it was normal what I did, but now I think it's special." Big compliment and respect for Zaid !!!

Municipalities support National Moluccan Monument

This year it will be 70 years ago that the 1st generation Moluccans were transferred to the Netherlands in 1951 with 12 ship transports. On command, about 4000 Moluccan KNIL soldiers and Navy men came to the Netherlands with their families (in total 12,500 persons). At the point of arrival of the 1st transport ship at the Lloydkade in Rotterdam, it is not yet possible to trace a historical event. The National Moluccan Monument Foundation (LMM) is committed to realizing a monument. The monument will be a tribute to this 1st generation Moluccans and their families and in recognition of the shared past. The monument can also serve to continue telling the story of the arrival of Moluccans in the Netherlands to current and future generations. For anyone interested in this history, the foundation wants to offer an opportunity to learn more. They believe that more knowledge of each other's past leads to more understanding. To realize a monument, the LMM foundation has entered into a p

We give 17 million Dutch people a helping hand. After a dramatic year for many fellow countrymen, we are entering the "Corona Liberation Year" 2021 with a lot of positivity! A new year in which we will settle with Corona, and a new year in which we will cuddle together again as soon as possible! The title of our new song is therefore â? OWe Gaan Weer Kroelenâ? and that resulted in beautiful pictures in the video clip. We want to give everyone some hope and positivity in difficult times. The Corona rules were of course well observed during the shooting! In the video, people who were allowed to do so together at the time of recording are cuddled. From Grandma to Puppy. Action Of course, this cuddly song also hangs an action for the Sophia children's hospital as you are used to from us. The counter of our promotion "Buy a light for Sophia" is now almost E 2300-.
