Kinderen
2011 - 2020 As you see, the Foundation has in recent years especially, and only, being busy with paying school fees for a few children. Usually it goes to school fees and possibly books for children from primary school. A single time also for a secondary school, this is of course more expensive.
--------------------------------------
2010 In addition to paying school fees for 5 children, 4 times primary school and 1 time secondary school, we have also purchased a Kinderen pump for the group. This pump is easy to operate and simple to maintain. The group does have some vegetable gardens, only the watering by means of buckets and watering cans is rather laborious. Using this pump is a lot easier; probably they can now also create bigger vegetable gardens. So they get the needed vitamins and they can also start selling vegetables.
--------------------------------------
2008 - 2009 The last year we where rather busy with other things, among this, 2 weddings, 1 in the Netherlands and 1 in Tanzania. We have been to Tanzania, Dar es Salaam, for only 2 weeks and besides the wedding celebrations, there was little time left to go anywhere else. In January 2009 we have paid the school fees for 6 children. This year we hopefully will develop more activities. We will keep you informed.

11 dec.'06 tot 12 jan.'07 In this period we spend our holidays in Tanzania. We expected that we could have given you much more information concerning the women groups in Korosanga, but unfortunately it was impossible to visit the village due to the bad road. Last rainy season, they had no rain at all, this year approximately 3 times the normal quantity

18 juni '06 The foundation has organised an African festival, in cooperation with Salseromboka en De Mallemok, in Sloten (Frl.). It was a successful festival, with dancing, an African fashion show and African food. The aim was, in the first place, to raise some money, but this has succeeded partly.
HERE are some pictures from the fashion show.
