Startup Fest Europe is a nationwide festival of events that help startups grow faster by bringing together founders, investors, business leaders and developers around specific themes.

    The Netherlands Red Cross sounds gong for Africa

    Floortje Dessing en Juriaan Lahr van het Rode Kruis luiden de gong voor Afrika. Een grote hongersnood dreigt hier voor minstens 42 miljoen mensen. Door het weerfenomeen El Niño is er al maanden extreme droogte in verschillende landen in het continent, met  grote water- en voedseltekorten tot gevolg.

    Door het uitblijven van regen is de situatie in verschillende landen verergerd. Kinderen, zwangere vrouwen en vrouwen die borstvoeding geven zijn het meest kwetsbaar en hebben acuut hulp nodig. Bijvoorbeeld in Ethiopië waar het land op dit moment te maken heeft met de grootste droogteperiode in 50 jaar. Meer dan 10 miljoen mensen hebben hier voedselhulp nodig en bijna 6 miljoen mensen hebben niet genoeg water of sanitaire voorzieningen. In Oost- en Zuidelijk Afrika, hebben op dit moment zo'n 1 miljoen kinderen extra medische hulp nodig wegens ernstige uitdroging of ondervoeding.

    Op de Internationale Dag van het Rode Kruis, 8 mei, wil de hulporganisatie aandacht vragen voor deze nijpende situatie en de nodige hulp.

    On 4 May we commemorate all war victims who died during and after World Way 2. On 5 May, we celebrate that we live in freedom for over 70 years. Freedom only becomes meaningful if you know what it means to not be free. That this freedom is fragile is apparent every day. Freedom needs more than silent nurturing. The preservation of a free society also requires responsibility. The organizations of all festivities is not possible without all business and volunteers who contribute to this both at national and local level.

    A new memorial will be unveiled on Dam square in Amsterdam in the presence of Mayor of Amsterdam, Eberhard van der Laan. The memorial commemorates the 31 known victims who perished during the shooting on the Dam square on May 7th, 1945, two days after the German capitulation in the Netherlands. Intensive research into this event by Foundation Memorial 2015 for Dam Victims May 7th, 1945 led to the actual number and names of the victims.
