XOXO E.

Today is the start of my vacation, but I think rel Today is the start of my vacation, but I think relaxing can be perfectly combined with doing something good & giving back✨ Therefore, I'd like to share 5 easy and fun ideas to raise money💰 that will be perfect for this Summer☀️: 1. Organize a Dinner Party for friends and make it a charity dinner🍴🍝 You cook and host this special night and you ask them to make a donation instead of bringing a gift or food. Easy, fun, and memorable💖 2. Organize a Pub Quiz: make it an event for fun, with friends and drinks/bites while you host an interesting quiz. It can be about random facts, music, your friends, your country, everything🙌🏻 Ask all participants to pay an entrance fee and donate that to your favorite charity🎟 Make it a digital pub-quiz if necessary, with tools such as Kahoot! @getkahoot 3. Concert or Festival: Do you know musicians, people in a band or crazy good performers🤹🏻‍♀️? Find a venue or a garden and host an intimate concert or festival🎤🎸 Order a foodtruck and make it easy, or prep snacks and drinks yourself🍹 Opt for guests to donate during the festival or with their entrance ticket🎫 4. Closet Sale: Vacation is the perrrrfect moment to clean out your closet. The clothes and stuff you don’t like to keep, can either be donated or sold for charity. If you like, you can sell your clothes in a physical summer fair or flea market, organize a closet sale at home with your friends, or you can sell them online with tools such as @vinted or @tise.se Your old items will raise a lot of donations👗👢 5. Lotery: A good lotery can be so much fun! Organize this by collecting cool prices🏆You can ask stores and companies to donate to your lotery for charity if you like. Many will join! PLUS: be creative, come up with fun prices! Then tease your friends or family with the prices they can win and invite them to a night of luck🍀Make their entrance ticket their donation and see who walks away with the biggest price during that night💫 Hope to inspire you with these ideas for events this Summer✨💛

A few years later she moved to Sweden to spend the rest of her life here while working in a vegetable company and taking care of society.

Caretakers VS taking care🌸 I have so much resp Caretakers VS taking care🌸 I have so much respect for caretakers. Maybe I am the only one, but my gosh I’ve always been so scared and frightened about the idea of taking care of someone. Especially to risk doing something wrong when it comes to health and the human body: it freaks me out! I just can’t handle the responsibility. That’s why I think it is so incredible that people out there DARE to take care for work. For profession. WOW🏅 But what I’ve learned through volunteering, is that I may not be able to be a caretaker, but I can learn how to TAKE CARE. I learned that taking care is about attention, about showing up, about bringing someone flowers, about a hug, about helping out, about listening, about bringing a glass of water, about holding their hand, telling them it will be fine✨That is no profession and just asks for some practice. It adds up to the work caretakers do. We can all take care💕 Did you ever work or volunteer in Healthcare? Or do you know a caretaker? Let them know you appreciate them🙌🏻
Sweden is such a magical place during Summer✨So Sweden is such a magical place during Summer✨So beautiful! Have you ever been in Scandinavia during Summertime💛?
WELCOME☀️ A lot of new followers this week, I WELCOME☀️ A lot of new followers this week, I am so happy you are here and to connect with you✨ I'd like to take the opportunity to (re)introduce myself here: My name is Eva and I’m a Dutch fashion professional who is totally hooked on traveling & volunteering💛 With The Sunshine Journey, I hope to inspire you with my volunteering, with doing good and supporting charities🙌🏻 I am a happy soul who fuels itself with sunshine, kindness, love and positive energy⚡️ Its my dream-future goal to support many lifestyle businesses in finding the perfect match AND achieving the most sustainable collaboration with a Charity or Non-Profit. Together we can do so much more🙌🏻 #giveback Some fun facts about me: ☀️I love sunshine and the icon/ emoji of the sun is always my go-to sign 🇸🇪I currently live in Stockholm. When I couldn't travel due to Covid, I decided to become an expat in Sweden and moved here in January. 👗I’ve always loved fashion and trends and I developed a passion for Second Hand & Vintage in the last 15 years. ✨Volunteering has brought me to so many places, gave me the opportunity to meet the most amazing people and I got so much insights. Thankful, happy and appreciative with every experience I got. 🙌🏻I don't have the highest engagement rate, as I connect with a lot of charities on Instagram. But these contacts are so valuable, I feel incredibly lucky and fortunate to know so many people and organisations around the globe that make a difference. ☺️I easily start crying when I watch the acts-of-kindness videos of @jayshetty Love them all💛
FUEL yourself with kindness☀️ This is why I l FUEL yourself with kindness☀️ This is why I love to volunteer: I had a crazy busy day in the office with good meetings and commercial deadlines, but I feel so much more happy, satisfied and fulfilled after an act of kindness💖 Fuel yourself with what gives YOU energy! Find out what fuels you, that can be anything✨ But if I CAN give you a recommendation: Fuel yourself with kindness💛 By seeing kindness, by valueing kindness, by receiving kindness and by giving kindness💕 What is your ultimate FUEL💭?
Lately, I have become more conscious of the fact t Lately, I have become more conscious of the fact that we have so much power in who we support🌟 and therefore we should always be critical in who we help, who we donate our money to and how we feel about what we do. To help you with that, I’d like to share a critical checklist for Humanitarian Help and Charities with you📋 which might be helpful for you as a future volunteer or supporter✔️☀️ Before helping out, you may like to ask or research the following questions as a checklist: 1. Who are the founders of the organization? 2. Who are they working with? What are their resources? 3. Are they working together with local representatives from the community👨🏻‍🏫? 4. How are they empowering, rather than helping, the communities👩🏻‍🌾? 5. What is their exit strategy for when the problems are resolved➡️? 6. What percentage of the donations actually goes to the communities themselves💰? It is both interesting and useful to do this little investigation before going there to help🔎 It will give you even more the feeling of helping out and making a difference if you find the answers satisfying in what you aim for💛🙌🏻 And this way the best (the right) charities can grow bigger with your support. I really hope this checklist is useful for you. Please be critical! *Not all questions may apply to the organization/activity you choose*

A Sunday well spent I believe💛

I learned that taking care is about attention, about showing up, about bringing someone flowers, about a hug, about helping out, about listening, about bringing a glass of water, about holding their hand, telling them it will be fine✨That is no profession and just asks for some practice. It adds up to the work caretakers do. We can all take care💕 Did you ever work or volunteer in Healthcare? Or do you know a caretaker? Let them know you appreciate them🙌🏻

WELCOME☀️ A lot of new followers this week, I WELCOME☀️ A lot of new followers this week, I am so happy you are here and to connect with you✨ I'd like to take the opportunity to (re)introduce myself here: My name is Eva and I’m a Dutch fashion professional who is totally hooked on traveling & volunteering💛 With The Sunshine Journey, I hope to inspire you with my volunteering, with doing good and supporting charities🙌🏻 I am a happy soul who fuels itself with sunshine, kindness, love and positive energy⚡️ Its my dream-future goal to support many lifestyle businesses in finding the perfect match AND achieving the most sustainable collaboration with a Charity or Non-Profit. Together we can do so much more🙌🏻 #giveback Some fun facts about me: ☀️I love sunshine and the icon/ emoji of the sun is always my go-to sign 🇸🇪I currently live in Stockholm. When I couldn't travel due to Covid, I decided to become an expat in Sweden and moved here in January. 👗I’ve always loved fashion and trends and I developed a passion for Second Hand & Vintage in the last 15 years. ✨Volunteering has brought me to so many places, gave me the opportunity to meet the most amazing people and I got so much insights. Thankful, happy and appreciative with every experience I got. 🙌🏻I don't have the highest engagement rate, as I connect with a lot of charities on Instagram. But these contacts are so valuable, I feel incredibly lucky and fortunate to know so many people and organisations around the globe that make a difference. ☺️I easily start crying when I watch the acts-of-kindness videos of @jayshetty Love them all💛
FUEL yourself with kindness☀️ This is why I l FUEL yourself with kindness☀️ This is why I love to volunteer: I had a crazy busy day in the office with good meetings and commercial deadlines, but I feel so much more happy, satisfied and fulfilled after an act of kindness💖 Fuel yourself with what gives YOU energy! Find out what fuels you, that can be anything✨ But if I CAN give you a recommendation: Fuel yourself with kindness💛 By seeing kindness, by valueing kindness, by receiving kindness and by giving kindness💕 What is your ultimate FUEL💭?
Lately, I have become more conscious of the fact t Lately, I have become more conscious of the fact that we have so much power in who we support🌟 and therefore we should always be critical in who we help, who we donate our money to and how we feel about what we do. To help you with that, I’d like to share a critical checklist for Humanitarian Help and Charities with you📋 which might be helpful for you as a future volunteer or supporter✔️☀️ Before helping out, you may like to ask or research the following questions as a checklist: 1. Who are the founders of the organization? 2. Who are they working with? What are their resources? 3. Are they working together with local representatives from the community👨🏻‍🏫? 4. How are they empowering, rather than helping, the communities👩🏻‍🌾? 5. What is their exit strategy for when the problems are resolved➡️? 6. What percentage of the donations actually goes to the communities themselves💰? It is both interesting and useful to do this little investigation before going there to help🔎 It will give you even more the feeling of helping out and making a difference if you find the answers satisfying in what you aim for💛🙌🏻 And this way the best (the right) charities can grow bigger with your support. I really hope this checklist is useful for you. Please be critical! *Not all questions may apply to the organization/activity you choose*
