A year ago, Rianne Dunkirk from Hoogeveen started a minibieb at home. It turned out not to be resistant to a storm. Dunkirk was not in the pack and found a different way of exchanging at home: the exchange attic. And that has become very popular.
“My grandmother had books.” Just bring them to me, “I said,” because then I will give them away, “Dunkirk looks back” I had my husband made a cupboard, about fifty centimeters in size, and that’s how I started my minibieb. “
That Minibieb is now a thing of the past. “After that cupboard was blown over, I had to come up with something else. That’s why I started an exchange attic in the attic above my husband’s garage,” says the initiator. Puzzles, dolls, cars and board games, the project looks like a complete toy store. “It started with four statements, but now the entire attic is full. All thanks to donations.”
People who want to exchange toys can come to the exchange loft. If they have toys that are no longer played, they can hand in this and bring other toys. In the meantime, the initiative already has more than six hundred followers on Facebook.
Although everyone is welcome, Dunkirk also sees people who are not wide. “If they have nothing to exchange, then they can bring three toy items or books. And if they really have problems, they can report to Rianne,” says volunteer Laura. “For example, we recently set up a complete children’s room.”
