Useful, necessary, but fun as well. Using that approach, T!NT, the student organization that stands for ‘inspiration and deepening’, wanted to do something useful for people in need of this. The activity was supervised by the Stichting Present.

This foundation links up people who have registered as volunteers with people who lack social contacts that they can fall back on.

The odd-jobs students set to work at two households. The Spanish Fernanda Neira d’Angelo, a PhD student at Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, was one of the volunteers. Together with her group she gave the living-room of a female former drug addict a colorful make-over. Neira d’Angelo: “I think it is important that students should also see another side of society. In general life is easy for us. At TU/e you are surrounded by people with similar backgrounds. An activity like this makes you aware that there are also people leading quite different lives.” (SK)/.
