It is with great sadness that we share the news of Rick Charns passing away unexpectedly on Monday, March 11th. Rick was first and foremost a loving father and husband to his nine-year-old son Nathan and his wife Lyn. You would be hard-pressed to find a picture of Rick without his family by his side. He often shared sweet family moments with friends at work, most recently texting “Proud Papa” to a colleague when Nathan hit a homerun at his spring baseball season opener.  Everyone who knew Rick here at work over his 17-year tenure knew that he was passionate about his projects, his customers, and supporting his team. Rick was instrumental in the success of the US DUV UIR team. He helped drive the team to meet seven out of seven upgrades to meet KPIs in the second half of 2023, a significant turn-around in their success.  In the past week alone, he told colleagues how proud he was of the team for beating the install cycle time commitment on their first NXT:1470 install, an achievement that resulted in an email recognition from the customer. A sentiment shared by many, one colleague put it into words well saying, “I always admired Rick’s dedication to his projects and to his project personnel. He was relentless in meeting his customer goals and ensuring that his people were properly supported throughout projects. His dedication to his family was beautiful to witness as well. He constantly spoke of his adoration for his wife and his aspirations for his young son.” He will be greatly missed by his family and so many at ASML. Anyone who knew Rick, knew how much he loved to watch his son play baseball. Rick's family is requesting donations to the Gilbert Little League in lieu of flowers.

Empowering Hope for Children: Join Me in Supporting Meyer Foundation's Mission for Paediatric Health!

A waterscouting troop in Uithoorn. Scouting is an organization that offers many activities to young and old, including fire-making, working with rope, sailing, rowing and much more. After having a troop house near the river for over 40 years, the municipality now wants to use the grounds for apartment buildings. This means the club will need funds for a new building, as the municipality is not supporting the club. The money from this fund will go to this new troop house.

The Elim Foundation was founded on December 3, 1993 with the aim of: Building and maintaining facilities for the Elim Children's Home and all related projects that benefit the children. The idea for this arose when Cees Rijke came into contact with large groups of street children in Indonesia during his work as a tour guide. Cees has adopted several children and, among others, gave Isaac a name: Isaac Rijke Sayuna. When Isaac grew up, he wanted to help other children who, like him, no longer had a home or family to care for them. Cees' meeting with Rianne Noordzij resulted in the concrete plan for the establishment of the Elim Foundation. Isaac Rijke Sayuna is married to Nonoi. Together they have four children and Isaac and Nonoi manage the activities on site. Target group and the request for help Elim mainly focuses on children who have to miss their parents at a very young age. There are also stray children whose parents cannot care for them. The children in the Elim children's home often do not know when they were born. Most children have had traumatic experiences. Unfortunately, the children are already around ten years old when it turns out that things are going very badly for them. In this remote corner of Indonesia there are no local authorities that provide care, so the population has to rely mainly on private initiative, which is what Elim focuses on. ​ That is why care and attention for housing, education, nutrition, clothing and medical care for those children is still desperately needed. Isaac and Nonoi and the employees of the Elim Foundation want to break the negative spiral and give children the chance for a better life.

This project will enable children and youth in our community in rural Uganda to plant gardens and fruit trees. The gardens provide an opportunity for environmental education and learning about sustainable farming, while also producing nutritious foods for the needy people. Learning about sustainable farming, while also helping to raise food for poor and needy people is very empowering . This program improves child nutrition and health, increases attendance and enthusiasm for learning, and demonstrates to families how they can continue to farm and help the environment. We hope the success of the programs will inspire others in the region to implement similar projects.

From our practical experience at For Change working with numerous families at risk, we've observed that no matter what we do with the children, achieving success becomes very difficult if we don't work comprehensively with the parents. The idea is to engage parents and extend the family circle to change their attitudes and priorities. They should realize their roles and responsibilities and be willing to shift their priorities. We want to engage specialists such as social workers, medical professionals, psychologists, lawyers, and others, if necessary, to help the parents to create a plan for change. With the donations from this fund, we will provide support in dealing with institutions, offering assistance, counseling, and any other necessary help to the parents so that they can raise their children in safer environment.

In 2024, the Child and Space Association will celebrate its 20th anniversary. It all started in 2004 as a small organization, but the meeting with the children from the unfortunate home in Mogilino village transformed us into a provider of social services for children and youth with disabilities and mental suffering. Today we already manage 9 social services, with a team of 85 specialists and a very small administrative team consisting of 3 people. To mark our anniversary, we would like to organize a series of meetings where staff from our different services can come together and share their experiences, meet the children in our care and visit each other, show off and before society. Until now, we have not had such an opportunity. We also want to share with society our successes, knowledge and experience, to present our teams and our grown-up children, who are now young people looking for opportunities for realization. Budget: $8500

I've pledged to play games and raise funds for kids at my local children's hospital.

The Small Group Home for young children in Lyulin (Sofia, Bulgaria) was established as part of a project by a non-governmental organization in collaboration with Sofia Municipality. It comprises an apartment where children ranging from 5 to 12 years old are accommodated. All of them have some form of illness or mild disability, and their families are facing difficult socio-economic circumstances, making it challenging for them to provide adequate care. The children are looked after by a social worker and women who are with them around the clock. These children have now grown older. The oldest girl is 19 years old and attends high school, while the others are teenagers. The only boy among them, the brother of the 19-year-old girl, is 9 years old. Presently, three girls and three teenagers reside in the Lyulin apartment. They attend school and participate in a therapeutic workshop at the "Hedgehogs" Center, which is also overseen by our organization. Through donations, we provide them with opportunities for vacation and variety - every summer, they have the chance to visit the sea and the mountains. The sea, in particular, is their most cherished destination. These young individuals possess diverse interests, and it is our responsibility to offer them extracurricular activities that they find enjoyable, activities that will contribute to their personal growth and well-being. Thus far, we have identified several fitting activities that align with their interests, such as drumming in the Rhythm Workshop, dancing, swimming, soccer, theater, and more. To facilitate these activities, we require funds to cover participation costs, as well as expenses for transportation and an accompanying staff member. Within the Center, there is a woman who cannot leave due to her responsibilities in meal preparation, cleaning, and ensuring the children's attendance at school. An African proverb aptly characterizes our situation: "It takes a village to raise a child"! Through your support, we aim to provide our teenagers with their preferred sports and activities, enabling them to develop their skills, fulfill their potential, and experience well-being and happiness. Financial Goal: $4,000 USD (for one year, covering sports and engaging activities for leisure time for 6 children).

The purpose of this fund is to continue providing professional care and support for 10 children and youths with severe disabilities. We have attracted to our side the best kinesiotherapist (Rada) in the city of Ruse, Bulgaria with enormous experience. She is a teacher at the University of Ruse and has known some of our young people for 15 years. We would like to ensure her support and care for our children and youths with severe disabilities for another 12 months (for 2 years we received donations for her, as the municipality/state do not ensure her work). This is not just a fad. This is an opportunity to observe the children in their everyday life, in their usual environment. In this way, the postures that are most favorable for them are discovered, and the movements that are possible for them, as well as those that they can be encouraged to do, are outlined. An example of Rada's work is with Miss Violetta - The condition at the beginning of rehabilitation a year ago was difficult. Violeta has severe thoracic kyphosis, frequent nervousness, and insomnia. Standing up made her nervous; she couldn't walk, and she had a panicky fear of being in a different position. Now she fully cooperates during the rehabilitation activities: she can walk, sit independently and safely. She likes physical activity, it calms her down and brings her happiness, which can be read in her expression. We can say that she is making huge progress in her development – she plays fit-ball and likes to push a wheelchair, and during these exercises, she receives instructions that she understands. The results that are achieved are exceptional, not because we make miracles at the center, but because the real existing opportunities for the development of each child are used professionally. Through your support, we will continue to provide professional care for children and youths with disabilities so that they can develop their skills and reach their full potential, feel good, and be happy. Financial goal: 7000 USD (1000 BGN per month or 12 mounts professional support)

The funds from this campaign will help the children with necessary equipment, supply necessary materials, cover travel expenses, and offer food and meals. This is instrumental for students who are unable to purchase them.
