Youp: "Back in 1986 I started to earn a lot of money. Then asked myself do you enjoy being wealthy or not? The blunt answer was yes! My circle of friends goes back to the days when I had no money. They still come to visit me in my house where we can
share the views overlooking the North Sea. It dose not interest me whether rich or poor – that’s what friends are for. It was important for me to help in the developing world, so in 2003 I set up a foundation called “Alle Beetjes”. Our projects are all small scale, like a little bus for Mali, a house for drug edicts in Brazil. Why? Because that is a ‘must’! And with the Drive Against Malaria, together we can help little children to live beyond the age of five years”. Alle Beetjes of YoupVan’t Hek supported the Drive Against Malaria with funds to buy 1,000 long lasting mosquito nets for the children of Cameroon to sleep under at night. Thenets protect children against malaria that is transmitted be the mosquito afterdark. Julia Samuel: "With this we have can protect 1000family’s in the least wealthy areas of Cameroon with at an impregnated mosquitonet where up to five children can sleep. The nets we use have an average live span of 4 – 5 years.
