I'm touched to see that the 24 hour action already raised all the money required within such a short time! We need to say thank you so much in the name of Dr. Ndege, the neurologist at KNH.. He's so grateful for the contribution Youth on the Move is able to give, to easen the burden of their work at the hospital. The hospital has an admission of patients of 300%. This means that patients sleep on top, but even under the bed and in the hall. THrough your donation we can support them to give epilepsy care in a shorter time, so that people have to wait less. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Also THANK YOU MOSES AND BARBRA for your tremendous contribution to be our trouble beaters at the KNH! Where would we be without you?!

Ha Henk, dat is absoluut waar, het is een mooi avontuur met de jongeren met epilepsie. Vol passie werken ze aan hun songs, en we wachten met ongeduld op de opnames!
