Hear a totally unofficial google translate version of the first poem of 2022 by the Amsterdam city poet, Marjolijn van Heemstra. The original poem is in Dutch of course, but we can appreciate the imagery and the sentiment even in English. The Dutch version has an added lyrical feel of course and we have a little taster of that too, with @CathyCentral's very best Dutch pronunciation. 

(First broadcast on Broadcast Amsterdam radio station on 9 February 2022 on our Dam Daily Wednesday edition.

Together Ukraine’s Brad Vanstone joined us to share how they have found a direct way to help Ukrainian refugees by driving vans and lorries full of much needed supplies to the Polish-Ukraine border. Brad was a guest on the Dam Daily show on Broadcast Amsterdam radio station on 9 March 2022, hosted by Cathy Leung. This is an edit of that interview. 

It’s likely the situation will get worse in Ukraine so they also have a plan to transport people away and to a place of refuge. For that they need mini-buses and probably more drivers. Follow the links below to help with financial donations or offering the help/supplies currently needed.
