A Call for Additional Space

Despite these advancements, the desire for further progress lingers. The aspiration for a fifth site echoes through the community, underscoring the need for continued expansion.

Advocating for Equitable Housing

Acknowledging recent strides made by the Amstelveen municipality to add ten more locations, Achterbergh embraces these initiatives enthusiastically.

Expressing gratitude for the collaborative efforts, Achterbergh highlights the importance of addressing urgent matters within the community.

Preserving Integral Family Bonds

Emphasizing the significance of maintaining close-knit family ties, Achterbergh advocates for a new location to ensure the preservation of these cherished relationships.
