Serve the City Leuven - Just another WordPress site

This was a fantastic week full of fun, joy, hard work and achievement. Although we didn't have as many volunteers as last year, it was made up for by the great attitude that everyone had and the friendly, relaxed atmosphere that was created because of this. Together, we were able to make a big difference to the lives of those we helped out. Rooms were painted, buildings were cleaned up, a roof was smashed down, gardens started to look beautiful again, friendships were made and smiles were put on many faces. Altogether it was a brilliant, diverse week of willing people serving this city! Thank you to all who made it possible!

This week we received the good news that the men of the Round Table of Leuven (RT26) are going to sponsor Serve the City Leuven! They are going to buy 150 new t-shirts and 2 promo flags! We are very grateful for their support!

Why are we here? Why do we exist? Is there a purpose for our existence? Does life have meaning? Is there more to life then eating, sleeping, working & playing? If so, then why are so many people feeling empty? These type of questions will be addressed by Dr. Ravi Zacharias during his public lecture. There will be time for Q&A with the audience afterwards. Dr. Ravi Zacharias is a Senior Research Fellow at Oxford University and an internationally renown speaker and author. The lecture will begin at 19h30 and will take place at the Pieter de Somer Aula in Leuven. Admission is free! Join us!

"Een Hartelijk Geschenk" ("A Heartfelt Gift") is a relief project organized by Humedica Belgium to support poor and underprivileged children in Romania. With this project, Humedica wants to invite everyone in Belgium, in particular children, to decorate a shoebox and fill it with fun and useful gifts: a small toy, things for school, a cap, a scarf, a tooth brush, … . These boxes are then collected by Humedica and handed out in Romania. This way, we can give underprivileged children in Eastern Europe who never get any gifts a very personal and heartfelt present! Each year, because of your help, Humedica is able to present more than one thousand children with an unforgettable gift during the holidays. Will you join in too?
