Details
The Pestalozzi Foundation was very willing to raise money for affected families and their children. People have spontaneously bought envelopes and cards made for the first day to collect money through schools in Switzerland. The result was a special gift for the youth center in Heijningen (municipality of Willemstad in North Brabant) of the Pestalozzi-Weltstiftung from Zurich, Switzerland. This card (outside and inside) has 8 special flooding stamps, 4 of which were stamped by the Dutch Postal Museum in The Hague on February 25, 1953.

De Pestalozzi stichting was bijzonder bereidwillig om geld in te zamelen voor getroffen gezinnen en hun kinderen.
Men heeft spontaan eerstedag enveloppen gekocht en kaarten laten maken om via scholen in Zwitserland geld in te zamelen.
Resultaat was een bijzondere gift voor het jeugdhuis in Heijningen (gemeente Willemstad in Noord-Brabant) van de Pestalozzi-Weltstiftung uit het Zwitserse Zürich.
Deze kaart (buitenzijde en binnenzijde) heeft 8 speciale watersnoodzegels, waarvan er 4 zijn afgestempeld door het Nederlands Postmuseum te Den Haag op 25 februari 1953.
