Description
Hi, I’m Demiah, living in Boxtel, the Netherlands. Since Netherlands is a small country, you can easily travel to tourist places within the country. I’m married to Daan Gauw, and together we have three wonderful young children, aged 11, 7, and 3.
In addition to family life, my husband and I run a foundation called Clean Up The World. Our mission is to promote environmental awareness and responsibility, working towards a cleaner and greener planet.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As the festive season approaches, we’re excited to share our plans for the coming months! In the Netherlands, we will be celebrating Sinterklaas, a beloved national holiday filled with tradition and joy, alongside Halloween, a time for fun and creativity. These celebrations offer a great opportunity for community engagement and festive cheer.
In addition to these celebrations, our foundation will be actively involved in organizing cleanup events throughout our village. This coming September 21st until 28th, we have a sustainability festival called Groener Gras and we are helping organizing the event. These events are not only a chance to contribute to a cleaner environment but also an excellent opportunity to interact with local residents and strengthen community ties.
We warmly invite you to join us in these activities. Whether you're looking to experience local traditions or engage in meaningful environmental work, our events provide a wonderful way to connect with the community and make a positive impact.
Help
I’m looking for assistance with some household chores, cooking, and picking up our kids from school and caring for them while we’re at work. The school is just a 5-minute walk away, and our children are very easygoing and respectful, making them a pleasure to care for.
