FOUNDATION PROFORKIDS ORPHANAGE FOR DEAF CHILDREN IN SOSNITSA

FOUNDATION PROFORKIDS HELPS HANDICAPPED CHILDREN IN UKRAINE In Ukraine, at present some 60,000 handicapped children and orphans live and go to school in more than 400 special children’s homes. The children are often living in the homes in very poor circumstances and usually without any privacy.

In the early 90’s, Barbara and Klaus Eckardt lived and worked in Ukraine. They were confronted with the poor conditions in the children’s homes and immediately started to help. After their retirement in 1995 and return to the Netherlands, Barbara and Klaus started the foundation ProForKids (Projects for Kids) in 1996.

The foundation ProForKids aims to structurally improve the living conditions of the children’s homes, among others by providing financial support to material projects. All projects are completely realized locally. ProForKids also contributes to the innovation of the education of handicapped children by organizing and realizing non material projects which mainly consist of the transfer of knowledge from the Netherlands to Ukraine.

A large number of donors of ProForKids has made it possible all these years for ProForKids to financially support many projects for a number of children’s homes for deaf, hard of hearing and blind children and orphans.

These were and are projects for thorough renovations, for replacement of old plumbing, ancient heating systems, old furniture and single glass windows by insulated windows, for purchase of modern study material, set up libraries, etc. This has considerably improved the children’s living conditions and future prospects. The changed political and resulting bad economic situation in Ukraine necessitates further outside support. An example is the successful 2015 project to replace the heating installation of the children’s home for deaf children in Sosnitsa dating back to 1975. You as a donor of De Kraal International in 2015 made a substantial contribution for the successful realization of the project, for which we thank you.

Now the 40 year old chimney of the heating installation in Sosnitsa urgently needs to be replaced. The dilapidated 24 m high chimney is made of steel tubes which have badly corroded. The financial means for replacement are lacking. Therefore, ProForKids has promised to financially assist the children’s home in Sosnitsa.

For your financial support the deaf children in Sosnitsa and ProForKids will be very grateful.

The management of ProForKids.

5 DAYS INTERNATIONAL TOPSPORT. DE KRAAL INTERNATIONAL

2. INTRODUCTION DE KRAAL INTERNATIONAL FOR SPORTS AND CHARITY This year we celebrate the fifth anniversary edition of De Kraal International. An appropriate time to take a look back. Started as a successor to Jumping Zeldenrust with a moderate 2* category, we now have been organizing a little higher for a number of years already. Furthermore, we added a foal auction to the program for the first time last year, and Foal Auction 111 turned out to be an immediate bull’s eye. All in all a nice course to look back on.

But the motto has always been to improve each year and to maintain the challenges, both for the charity and for the sport. After another few technical changes in the infrastructure, we thought this was the right time to climb another rung on the sports ladder and to organize a CSI 4* event this year, in the hope and expectation to be able to attract both some Belgian and international top riders to Zandhoven. In order to also give our faithful participants a chance, for whom this level may be just out of reach, we are combining this with a CSI 2* event, so that both the professional and the amateur rider gets a chance to compete with his or her colleague riders.

De Kraal International has been organized not just for sports but also for chances; chances for the less fortunate in our society. Over the years we have supported both domestic and international initiatives, but always projects with which we were acquainted and of which we knew that the money would be well spent. And also always with the ultimate goal to support handicapped children, so that they will get a chance for later integration into society. Last year was the first year of our cooperation with ProForKids, and this choice was no coincidence.

Our family had supported this project before and the combination of a home and boarding school for deaf and hard of hearing children in Ukraine, in which the organization is directly involved, and last year’s successfully finished project, did make us unhesitatingly choose this organization again. We wish to take this opportunity to compliment Mrs. And Mr. Eckard and the whole ProForKids team for their accomplishments in the past and thank them for their dedication and our pleasant cooperation.

An anniversary edition needs a party. Therefore, we hit the road and succeeded in booking a top artist who will perform Saturday night for all present; we are looking forward to celebrate this landmark together with you.

With your presence you are showing your passion for the equestrian sport and your heart for the less fortunate. Thanks to your support we unify two worlds, of people and animals, who both deserve chances, each with their own possibilities and limitations.

We look forward to seeing you at De Kraal International 2016!
