Princess Máxima visited as Patroness as the Oranje Fonds the Cities of Mill and VenloPPE Agency
HRH,Patron,visited two projects of the Orange Fund Grow scheme today,
first one was the Autisme cafe of the Oval Foundation in Leiden,a meeting place for parents of authistic children.
Next stop was the " Best Buddies Nederland " project in Spijkenisse.
The project aims at connecting people with and without mental disabilities in a friendship relation.

I am pleased to see CP Maxima getting involved in causes that promote awareness of autism. It is autism awareness month in the US. Is it observed in the Netherlands also?
Yes it started with april 2nd being World Autism Awareness Day,and there are many tv + radio programs on the subject this month.
In that frame,she picked this particular project out of many others to draw attention,and respect,for the authistic and all those involved.
She generates so much attention for the causes she holds high through,ao,the Orange Fund,she truly is extraordinary.Bless her.
You are very welcome Marengo. I'm more than happy to share this information in the hope that it might help someone to seek a screening for a child.Thanks for sharing your story, TLLK. Royal visits are often quickly reduced to hairstyle and fashion on these forums (as we only get to see some pictures), but we forget that behind these visits and causes are real stories like yours. I am glad that your son is doing so well (and relatively quickly)!

HRH,Patron of the Orange Fund,will attend the conference;"Bonding in the neighbourhood"at the Pakhuis de Zwijger,Amsterdam tomorrow.
The conference is hosted by the Orange Fund
Today the Princess visited the Books of Life project,the project by volunteers in The Hague,won a Apple of Orange last year and HRH went to see how things are as she has a keen interest in many things,including projects funded by the Orange Fund of which both she and her husband are Co-Patron.
The project is just wonderfull.Volunteers help the elderly to write the story of their life.Often a very moving experience.
