“As a child I dreamed of becoming a sports journalist,” says Vandenberghe. “Thanks to our Christmas special, I can make part of that dream come true. But I am not doing it for myself, on the contrary. I do it for the people who will sit alone at home. This way they can enjoy 12 hours and the time goes faster. At the same time. we collect money for charity. “
The goal is to raise a symbolic Euro per inhabitant. “We have a total of 18,400 inhabitants. So our goal is to collect 18,400 euros. We donate part of that proceeds to Welzijnsschakel De Caproen. That non-profit organization delivers a Christmas meal to 180 families every year. These are families who otherwise would not be able to eat a Christmas meal. We’re also going to buy laptops for kids who still can’t get home educated properly. We’re also going to support the suicide prevention center because some people are really struggling mentally. So it’s much more than just a show of 12 o’clock.”
You can follow the broadcast on Christmas Day on the website of the Christmas special.
