Project in Kenya supported by dance party in Oudenbosch

Students of Hogeschool Rotterdam and a project group organized a party with artists and a drive-in show on 15 May in Café de Paardenstal in Oudenbosch. Local artist Rocky Taylor opened the evening and the party took off to an excellent start. DJ Kenny Hollemans played party music, 't Foute Uurtje (a programme on Q10), back to the '90s, Dutch hits and house classics. The room was full of lively youths.

Marloes Haverkamp took the stage at around 11 p.m., and then there was a raffle that everyone really enjoyed. A lot of raffle tickets were sold, and everyone loved the prizes. The party really got going after the raffle and everyone had a lot of fun. People danced into the wee hours of the night for a good cause.

An earlier collection in Oudenbosch, the tickets to the party and the raffle racked in €1,645, which was augmented by Wilde Ganzen's contribution and resulted in a total amount of €2,545 for the project in Kenya.
