Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Joyful New Year! 

The EasySundays team is wholeheartedly wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

In 2012, our dedicated team has organised five brunches, an apéro and an auction of children’s art (in cooperation with the EC), in line with the EasySundays spirit of:

“enjoying homemade food, meeting people, discovering new places and supporting great causes.“

Thanks to all of you,  more than five thousand euros have been collected and directed to associations and initiatives that help children, women and their communities towards a better life.

Namely, in 2012, EasySundays has acted in support of:

• Escuela democratica de Huamacucho: an educational institution that provides progressive schooling in the small Andean community of Huamachuco, Peru
• GAMS (Groupe pour l’abolition des mutilations sexuelles), an association that campaigns against Female Genital Mutilation, which constitutes a persisting  threat for African women, Belgium & Africa
• O allos anthropos (the other human/free food for all): a social kitchen movement that caters food to people in need through live cooking and shared meals, Athens, Greece
• Peace &  Development Group: a local partner of the Belgian asbl Quinoa that asserts  the rights of small farmer communities, Negros Island, Philippines
• Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA): the SEWA Sangini daycare centre cooperative helps poor women increase their livelihood, Ahmedabad, India
• Clown et Magicien sans frontières (CMSF) : an association of clowns and magicians that spread laughter to children in distress, Belgium and the world
• Pour un sourire d’enfant (PSE): an NGO that offers food and education to children living in garbage dumps of Phnom Penh, Cambodia

These seven successful events would not have been possible without the help of our volunteers. We would like to thank them from the bottom of our hearts!

We are looking forward to seeing you all again in February, over a solidary and fun Wine Tasting!
