Homeless Bedding

Erik van Loo designed bedding that looks like the shabby sleeping conditions that the homeless in Germany face. Proceeds from sales go to benefit homeless children in that country through an organization called "Kids Off Road" -- or that's how Google Translate is rendering the name.

Why don't they just go out and slug random homeless people - it would be less tacky and more direct.

Google Translate might try to translate things- sometimes names are not to translate and the name "Off Road Kids" http://www.offroadkids.de/ stays just that.

I think it's a very good initiative. And the bedding is just fun with a very conscious twist. Nice.

First: they're originally from Holland: The Netherlands that is.

Every pair of sheets you buy, a few euro's are donated to shelters for homeless youth, of which we too have too much. Nice to this happens in Germany too with the sales there.
Plus they sleep really nice (satisfied customer).

Strassenkindern translates literally as "street kids."
