Daan from Chaam went around the village for days to pick up empty bottles. And not without merit, he raised 600 euros with it. His mother donates the proceeds to Giro555.
He does not know how many bottles he has taken to the supermarket, says mother Annika: “We have lost count. Some people have also given him money.” In addition to his door-to-door tour with a handcart and home-made poster, Daan also had a garbage bag hanging at the gate into which people could throw their empty bottles.
He was inspired by the Youth News. The day after he saw other kids collecting bottles, he wanted it too. The first day his brother and sister went with them, after that he continued alone.
