Did you know that today is the kick off of the annual Kinderpostzegels ('Children Stamps') fundraising? Around 160,000 kids from grades 7 and 8 go door-to-door, selling stamps and postcards. Not only do these kids develop social skills while selling products, the profit goes to projects that support safety and development of vulnerable children in countries like Guatemala, Senegal, India as well as the Netherlands.
