    “Lunchtime supervisor? I highly recommend it to everyone!”
  • 25 Oct 2025

    • Rachel is celebrating this week that she has been a lunchtime supervisor at Rijk Kramerschool for 10 years. “It brings me a lot because you get a nice break, also outdoors in the fresh air, and you have nice contacts with your lunchtime colleagues, the teacher of your class, and of course with the children. I especially find the preschoolers really enjoyable.”

    Bowling with Amsterdam residents with intellectual disabilities – “What fun together”
  • 25 Oct 2025

    • A few years ago, Omar started volunteering at Prisma to boost his CV for medical school. Once a month, bowling shoes were taken out of the closet to go bowling with a friendly group of people with intellectual disabilities. In the end, medical school turned out not to be for Omar, but he still goes bowling every month: “That Wednesday is one of the most enjoyable days of my whole month!”
