Duckrace Maastricht
A safe place to live… it’s something many people take for granted, but certainly not war refugees! Together with Maastricht residents and students, Refugee Project Maastricht (RPM) initiates activities that contribute to a feeling of safety, a sense of community and mutual respect.
No duck without a flock!
Every rubber ducky that bobs through the Jeker on Mother's Day will mean a €5 donation to the charitable cause. The University Fund Limburg, which is organising the campaign together with Jules Maastricht, has set a goal for itself of selling at least 4,000 ducks and thereby securing a sum of €20,000. Such enormous proceeds would allow students and Maastricht residents to, over the next five years, organise activities aimed at helping war refugees rediscover their sense of safety and self-worth.
Need a gesture to celebrate Mother’s Day, a graduation, a birthday or top marks? Give them a duck! And if your ducky crosses the finish line first? You’ll win one of many gifts provided by the sponsors of this year’s Duck Race! www.koopjeduck.nl/refugees
