Unique ceramic handmade poppies for the Taxi Charity
Oosterbeek, The Netherlands - It's a bit of a hobby that got out of hand, Jacoline Rutgers says about her webshop BeetjeBinnenBuiten (bitInsideOutside), because she has got a normal job too. She sells, among other things, beautiful ceramic poppies, but not for herself, she relinquishes the profit.
The poppies are made by hand and everyone of them are therefore unique. They are made by people with disabilities from Lithuania.
Poppies for the Taxi Charity
"BeetjeBinnenBuiten sells these handmade fair trade ceramic poppy pendants, the profit of which (€ 1.50) goes to Taxi Charity for Military Veterans. The Organisation that, among other things, ensures that our English veterans can come to the Netherlands with the commemorations. Taxi drivers use their own taxi and their time are available, but there is much more good happening. We first presented our idea to Frans Ammerlaan of the Market Garden Foundation and he was enthusiastic immediately."
Jacoline joins the Market Garden Challenge
that tries to raise money for the Taxi Charity by cycling and walking. For the walking part they take the 40km walk during the 75th Airborne March which is held in Oosterbeek every year.
