    Albert Royaards, Founder, Smiling Hospital Foundation

    "As a lawyer and economist, Albert Royaards spent 17 years in Singapore, running his own financial consultancy. It may perhaps be considered a brave decision to accept the president's chair at the Smiling Hospital Foundation, the fastest growing Foundation in Hungary - which may soon also be helping sick children in other countries in C.E. Europe."

About xpatloop

Hungary's Expat Community Portal, Since 2000

"We are all one", yet there are barriers to unity such as nationality, language, culture, tradition, and so on. Xpatloop seeks to facilitate a better understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of life in Hungary for expats and locals alike. As a portal we share news, views & information - from a wide range of sources - to enhance cooperation between people, companies and organisations operating in expat related circles.
