Aims:

Making neurofibromatose more known, giving people with NF possibilities to meet other people with NF, making information about NF available for those who are interested.

Recent Realisations:
  • The activities we have to meet these aims are once a year a lecture about medical aspects of NF, we also try to have a lecture about social problems people affected by NF are confronted with. We are trying to hold two of this meetings in a year.
  • The youth group meets four times a year by one of the youth at home and oncwe a year we organize a weekend for them. On these occasions they talk with each other obout their problems and they have a lot of fun together.
  • This year we start with two new groups, one for the older people with NF we organise a day where they can met and to together and go out together as a number of them don't finf it ease to go to the zoo on their own because everybodt stares at them.
  • The second group we start this year is for the sibblings of people affected by NF, as they see that the brother or sister with NF get more attention.
