PR committee

The PR committee aims to increase awareness of Mustangh Foundation among the students of Maastricht University. The PR committee does this by organizing several activities during the academic year. For example, the PR committee annually organizes Merry MUSTANGH, an Africa Week, a Run for Ghana and various smaller activities. The PR committee meets once every two weeks to ensure that these activities run smoothly. To stay informed about the organized activities you can visit the MUSTANGH Instagram as well as facebook page.

This committee is led by Judith van Merkestein and exists of the following members:

Fleur Deneer

My name is Fleur Deneer. I’m 21 years old and I’m now in my third year of the bachelor medicine in Maastricht. In my spare time I like to go running, read a lot and spend time with friends and family. This year will be my first year at the PR committee of the MUSTANGH Foundation. I have chosen to join the PR committee because I enjoy creative brainstorming and organizing activities and in this way I can support the West Gonja Hospital.

Meggie Peerbooms

My name is Meggie Peerbooms. I am 19 years old and currently pursuing my second year of Health Sciences. I love drinks and socializing. I can enjoy going out on a terrace with friends! Besides my friends, family is also very important to me. In my spare time I sport three times a week at home and I work every weekend in a cozy cafe in Maaseik (Belgium). This is my first year at Mustangh and therefore also my first year in the PR committee. I’m looking forward to organize fun activities and to make sure our name is known!

Milou Beerenhout

My name is Milou Beerenhout and I am 20 years old. I’m currently in my second year of medical school in Maastricht and I’ve been living in a room in Maastricht for a while now. In my spare time I play field hockey and I like to meet up with friends. I am also a member of a club and I like to travel. I joined the PR committee of MUSTANGH this year to contribute to the West Gonja Hospital and to get to know new people. Furthermore, I hope we can increase brand awareness this year. I am looking forward to next year with many fun activities and a fun committee!

Mirthe Huveneers

I am Mirthe Huveneers. I am 19 years old and I was born in Brunssum, Limburg. I’m in the second year of studying medicine and I really like it. My interests lie in surgery, pediatrics and gynecology. I live in Maastricht, so I can regularly be found on a terrace. Cooking together or having a nice evening with my friends is something I always enjoy. I also like to do fitness. I love to travel and I hope that one day I will be able to see the beautiful Ghana for myself. This will be my first year at the PR-committee of MUSTANGH. I am really looking forward to it and I hope that we can mean a lot for the West Gonja Hospital!
