Organisation

The Veterans for Lebanon Foundation is a small, 'flat' organisation, consisting of dedicated, practical people, chaired by Bert Kleine Schaars. Major General Retd, Hans van der Louw, acts as ambassador of the foundation.

The foundation has an active partnership with, among others, the Containers of Love Foundation and maintains close contacts with the Dutch Ministry of Defence.

The combination of a small board with relevant contacts at home and abroad makes the Veterans for Lebanon Foundation into a compact, decisive organization with minimal overhead.
