This welfare committee visits Dutch migrants in the Illawarra area in hospital or at their home on special occasions such as birthdays (80 years and over) and weddinmg anniversaries (50 years and over). Their aim is to keep in contact with the elderly and to let them know, that we haven't forgotten them. They assist the elderly in good times and in difficult times.

This work is made possible by a grant from the Federation of Netherlands Societies in N.S.W.
