The inspiring fundraising efforts by students in Herentals have captured local attention, showing the power of community spirit. On 2025-05-20 16:37:00, it was revealed that a class raised over 3,000 euros for the Lions Scholenproject through a candy sale, outshining other schools in the region. Their dedication helped support a fellow student, Charlot, who faced severe health challenges.
- Klasgenoten zamelden meer dan 3.000 euro in
- Charlot onderging voetamputatie na streptokokken A
- Lionsclub schonk 1.000 euro extra steun
- Charlot investeert in elektrische fiets voor school
- 'Verborgen Harten' bestrijdt eenzaamheid bij ouderen
- Sam verkocht postkaarten voor speelgoed donatie
Charlot’s battle with streptococcus A led to organ failure and a three-month hospital stay, culminating in the amputation of her right foot. Despite these hardships, she now smiles again, surrounded by her classmates. The additional 1,000 euros donated by the Lionsclub of Herentals will help Charlot purchase an electric bike, easing her daily commute to school.
What makes this story even more remarkable? Other students also made a difference through their projects, proving that everyone can be a winner. Let’s explore how these initiatives are shaping the community.
How can school projects foster such meaningful change? These efforts show that even young people can impact lives significantly. The variety of projects illustrates diverse approaches to social challenges:
- First place: Candy sale raising 3,000+ euros for Charlot’s recovery and mobility.
- Second place: ‘Verborgen Harten’ project addressing loneliness among elderly residents at Bremdael care home.
- Third place: Postcard sales raising 3,500 euros to buy toys for young cancer patients, led by a 12-year-old boy from Olen.
Looking ahead, such inspiring projects can motivate more schools across Belgium to launch similar campaigns. Could your local school be next to make a difference? It’s time to support and celebrate young changemakers in our communities.
