Small Change Big Difference

20 euro cents seems like a minimal amount, but a child can get fed for that amount. Small Change Big Difference. In the Netherlands more than 1 Billion breakfasts, lunches and dinners are served in its restaurants. Imagine that 10% of those meals donate 20c then the Netherlands alone would feed 300.000 children every day. Now imagine that amount worldwide and what a difference we can make together. We are very happy with the initiative of ‘Maastricht aan Tafel,’ a culinary week where lots of menu’s will be served and the donation of 20c has a central, symbolic role. And all that the capital of gastronomy; Maastricht, my hometown!.’’ Extraordinary Ones

Supporters

In a short time many people have started to support Extraordinary Ones. The concept will grow from Maastricht through the rest of Holland and already there is interest from Belgium, Germany and England to start Extraordinary Ones. The philosophy of Small Change Big Difference catches on fast. For just 20c you can help a child: A meal for us, a meal for them! This message is so powerful that everyone likes to take part. Cas spijkers, Hans van Wolde and Felix Meurders are now ambassadors of Extraordinary Ones. In the coming months we would like many restaurants B&B’s, hotels, gastro pubs and also shops and consumers to join us to make a huge difference together
