Eindhoven Zoo welcomes refugee children for 'carefree day out'

Eindhoven Zoo Mierlo, in cooperation with the church communities of Nuenen, is opening its doors to refugee children for two days this summer vacation.

Nuenen is home to refugees from countries where it is not safe, such as Ukraine. Therefore, the working group of the church communities organizes vacation activities for these children. One of these activities is a day trip to Eindhoven Zoo.

General manager Sander van der Heul: "It is very bad what is happening in the world and that these young children have to deal with it. We are happy to welcome these children. We hope it will allow them to be children again for a day and enjoy carefree. We are very grateful to the church communities for this initiative and the pleasant cooperation!"
