VVD member Daan de Kort in the race for inclusion award

Daan de Kort from Veldhoven is in the running for the Ctalents Diamond Awards, a prize that recognizes people and organizations that excel in the field of inclusion. The visually impaired VVD member has been committed to people with a visual impairment for years.

That is why the member of parliament has been nominated for the Ctalents Diamond Awards in the leader category.

As a politician, De Kort is committed to people with a visual impairment. In addition, Daan has worked in the European Blind Union in the past for the accessibility of elections within the member states in Europe. He has also been an ambassador for the Eye Fund for many years.

Limit

His commitment to people who are visually impaired does not come out of the blue. Daan de Kort lost about ninety percent of his eyesight in 2008. He has personally experienced what it is like when authorities want to determine for you how you should organize your life, according to the organization behind the awards. That is why the VVD member is now spreading the message that people should not be limited by their disability.

You can vote for Daan de Kort until 29 March.

– Café de Wildeman: Markt 10, 5611 EB Eindhoven
– Café Dommel 18: Dommelstraat 18, 5611 CK Eindhoven

0

The Eindhoven Marathon is expecting some 23 500 runners to run in the event on Sunday. This is about the same number as last year.

Most of the participants will be running in the 21km half marathon. There will be 8 600 participants running this distance on Sunday. With 5 000 runners, the 5km City Run is also popular. On Sunday, the other runners will participate in the relay race, the mini-marathon, and the full marathon of just over 42 kilometers.

On Saturday, there will also be a walking event. This event includes the 5KM4All, which also allows people with disabilities to participate. On Saturday night 3 000 runners will run 10km by night.

On Sunday, the Kenyan Kirwa and Ethiopians Assefa and Robi are considered favourites.

The marathon will cause a hindrance because of the many roadblocks. Here, drivers can see what to expect. Many buses will not be riding either. Until 13:00 the buses n the lines 8, 11, 14, 18, 19, 317, 318, 319, 402 and 403 will not ride on the motorways. They will only stop at stops within the ring. After 13:00 everything would run normally as per schedule.

Winter festival at the Grote Beek

0

At the De Grote Beek estate, a so-called Winter Festival will start on Tuesday.

There is a pop-up restaurant in a large barn. The proceeds are for a good cause: animals in healthcare.

Aside the large American barn, there will also be a living nativity scene. Santa Claus will also show his face from time to time. It will be possible to have lunch and dinner and the proceeds will go to Dieren in de Zorg of the GGzE (mental healthcare).

In the treatment of clients it sometimes helps to use animals, says the healthcare institution. Such treatments are often not reimbursed, that’s the reason money will be raised for this.

A wall full of Christmas balls drawn by children with cancer: at the St. Anna Hospital in Geldrop there is such a wall since Monday.

The Christmas baubles come from residents of Geldrop and surroundings. They have handed in old Christmas baubles at garden center GroenRijk and bought KiKa Christmas baubles. There are drawings on the Christmas baubles made by four children with cancer. A few pupils of the Eenbes elementary school Sint Jozef have helped set up the wall and then presented it to Ingrid Wolf, chairman of the board of directors.

The proceeds of the purchased Christmas baubles at GroenRijk go to the charity. The garden center together with other centers aim to collect 250,000 euros.
