Mohsin Abbas: The New Ambassador of De Katrol Oostende
So, let’s dive into this delightful twist of fate: Mohsin Abbas has donned the role of ambassador for De Katrol Oostende. I mean, if the man can wield his fame like a comedic lightsaber, why not wield it for a good cause? As he himself puts it, “If I can use my fame to help them, I would like to do so.” And let’s not kid ourselves; fame is great, but using it for something worthwhile? That’s the Jedi mind trick we’re all hoping for!
For two decades now, De Katrol has been tirelessly working to support vulnerable families with children. They ensure that these families receive guidance from students in pedagogical or social training courses. It’s like The Avengers, but instead of fighting supervillains, they’re tackling the everyday chaos of family life. Coordinator Katrien Sabbe mentions that they work hand-in-hand with mediators and schools, helping between 200 and 300 families in Ostend. I’d say that’s more lives saved than a soggy biscuit in a cup of tea!
Ambassador
Now, let’s talk about brand awareness. According to Katrien, De Katrol is a well-kept secret among primary schools but hasn’t quite hit the celebrity radar yet. I mean, who doesn’t love a good underdog story? “We do not have a godfather or ambassador,” she laments. It seems like they were crying out for a fame-infused fairy godmother, and like a genie popping out of a lamp, Mohsin appears!
“We already worked with Mohsin in the past, and with his rising stardom, we had to clinch him for this ambassadorship.” Let’s just say when you have someone who can make your comedy gala practically a sitcom episode, you’re going to want to harness that potential. They’re already seeing results; picture a comedy evening hosted by the Lions Club in aid of De Katrol—sounds like a laugh, doesn’t it?
Convinced
Mohsin, who once graced the bureaucratic halls of an alderman’s office, describes De Katrol as a “warm organization that can make a difference for families.” You know, like the hug you didn’t ask for but really needed. He continued to follow their efforts, and here’s where it gets personal— “Their cause is close to my heart because I also have two children of my own.” Dads, eh? Always remembering to do good, usually while just trying to avoid Lego on the living room floor.
With a firm belief that opportunity is like a dropped mic, Mohsin seized the ambassadorship with both hands. “I can use my name recognition to do something good for society. I am happy to help them.” Now there’s a mantra I could get behind: “Fame for good, not just for a laugh!”
Smartest Person
But let’s not forget the comedy queen bee, De Slimste Mens. After his explosive participation in this TV quiz, Mohsin is riding high! He took a moment to share his joy on Instagram, because let’s be real, what’s the point of fame if you can’t show off a bit, right? He was over the moon when invited—“It was already confirmation that I was doing well.” And doesn’t that give us all hope?
“I want to give that push to De Katrol as well.” Bless you, Mohsin. Here’s hoping your TV glitz translates into fundraising pizzazz. He reminisces fondly about the experience: “It was important for me to enjoy it.” And isn’t that the goal for all of us—enjoying whatever ridiculous, unpredictable adventure life throws our way?
Conclusion
So, what can we conclude from this delightful article? Mohsin Abbas is set to stamp out stigma and smear his glorious fame across the canvas of charity. Helping vulnerable families while dishing out laughs? My friends, that’s a win-win! The important takeaway here: Use your fame wisely, and who knows? You could be the next superhero, and your cape might just be a comedy routine. Cheers to Mohsin Abbas!
Mohsin Abbas is now ambassador of De Katrol Oostende. “If I can use my fame to help them, I would like to do so,” says the participant in De Slimste Mens. The Pulley was able to snare him because they had been working together since he was not yet well known.
Ensure that vulnerable families with children receive guidance from students with a pedagogical or social training course. That has been the striking effect of De Katrol Oostende for 20 years. “We work closely with the mediators and the schools so that we can quickly help those families,” says coordinator Katrien Sabbe. In Ostend they reach between 200 and 300 families with several dozen students who visit the families twice a week. The approach has now been adopted in many other places in Flanders.
Ambassador
“We are known among primary schools, but not so among the general public. We do not have a godfather or ambassador, although there is a need for one. We receive many gifts or donations, but the search for resources is becoming increasingly difficult. That is why brand awareness is important and a well-known person can help with this,” says Katrien. “We have already worked with Mohsin in the past and now that he is becoming increasingly famous, we were able to attract him for this ambassadorship.” It has already resulted in a comedy evening by the Lions Club in aid of De Katrol on Sunday, April 27.

“I once worked in the office of an alderman and there I got to know De Katrol as a warm organization that can make a difference for families by supporting them. I have continued to follow them ever since. Their cause is close to my heart because I also have two children of my own. I was also given opportunities and grabbed them with both hands. What De Pulley does is therefore very important. So I had no doubts about this ambassadorship. I can use my name recognition through the Smartest Person for comedy, but also to do something good for society. I am happy to help them,” says Mohsin Abbas.
Smartest Person
He immediately made a post on his Instragam page. He exploded in recent days due to his participation in De Slimste Mens. He looks back with satisfaction on his passages in the TV quiz. “When they invited me, it was already confirmation that I was doing well. Without a manager or booking agency, they gave me a little push. And I also want to give that to De Pulley. My participation in the quiz was an experience I will never forget. It was important for me to enjoy it. I already did that during the recordings a few weeks ago and even now because people approach me on the street and give positive comments.”
