Joel, 7 years old

“I dream of seeing a starfish for real“

Joel just loves going fishing with his dad. This young boy is passionate about all creatures that live in water but most of all he is fascinated by starfish. Never having seen one for real, it was Joel’s wish to see them in their habitat. His dream has come true as just recently Joel went off to Holland with his mum and dad. In the company of a biologist, Joel spent an extraordinary day by the sea hunting for starfish and learning all about them. He found 26 starfish and as you can see from his smiling face that just made his day !

 

 

Our sincere thanks to Mr and Mrs Keith Dicker who very generously offered the airmiles to cover the family's flight. Our thanks to Swiss and Edelweiss who provided Joel with a special trip, to the Golden Tulip Westduin Hotel, the Arsenaal Aquarium and resident biologist Jan van Veen. A big thanks to our friend Rick from Make-A-Wish Netherlands.
