Flickr The presents are worth 5 to 10 euros each, and were collected by volunteers in the course of the year. Luckily, at least 200 such gifts had already been distributed. These were the gifts for children that had not been able to attend the Sinterklaas celebration this past weekend, according to president Wim Overveld. The foundation does not have the money to replace the gifts, but hopes a few companies will be willing to lend a helping hand, states Van Overveld.
