On Saturday morning King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima participated in NLdoet ('NL Does') of the Oranje Fonds at Zorgboerderij (care farm) Op Aarde in Brielle. NLdoet is the largest volunteer action in the Netherlands and will take place for the eighteenth time this year. On Friday 11 and Saturday 12 March, everyone can get acquainted with volunteer work in an accessible way at about 5,500 places in the Netherlands. The Royal Couple is a patron of the Orange Fund.
Multifunctional farm On Earth is a farm combined with care and meaning and aims to be a meeting place for everyone. In addition to producing and selling food, Op Aarde also offers room rental and activities related to meaning. In addition, there has been Care Farm On Earth since 2012. Elderly people living at home with early dementia can go here for daytime activities. The daytime activities relieve the caregivers and ensure that the participants can continue to live independently for longer. The elderly work in and around the farm: they take care of the animals, do odd jobs in the workshop, keep the vegetable garden and help with cooking. The qualified care is in the hands of the care institution Catharina, at home on Voorne. The care farm team is supported by 25 volunteers. Zorgboerderij Op Aarde is participating for the tenth time with NLdoet. During this spring cleaning, King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima and various volunteers helped with the pruning of the pear trees, the cleaning of the garden furniture, the mucking out of the animal houses and the cleaning of the interior spaces of the care farm.
The Oranje Fonds strives to ensure that everyone can participate in society and that no one is alone. That is why the fund strengthens and connects organizations and volunteers that contribute to a connected society. Every year, the Oranje Fonds supports thousands of social initiatives with knowledge and network, money, time and recognition.
