Those who did not fit in the council chamber could watch via video link in another room. There were eleven speakers on the program and next week it will be another six speakers’ turn. From the former director to volunteers: they all have a warm heart for the Burgerweeshuis. Each speech was followed by applause and hardly anyone could keep to the five minutes of speaking time. For what the heart is full of, the mouth overflows. “Everything is mixed up there. I am a chemistry teacher, but people with a distance to the labor market also come. In the Burgerweeshuis we are all citizens,” said one of the speakers.
