Bio
I was born in Amsterdam. When I was nine years old my parents moved to their motherland Suriname, a country on the northeast coast of South America. I lived there until 1992 and then I moved out to Holland for study. In 1993 I married my husband and had several jobs. In 1996 I started working as a Rabobank sales advisor for almost 15 years. In 2011 I moved back to Suriname with my husband and our two sons to work as volunteers for the Lob Makandra Foundation. We coordinate projects for the local people so they can become educated and independent and we try to let them discover their own talents. Furthermore we facilitate groups with accomodation concerning churchlife, children, young adults, several foundations and other charity organisations.
I'm passionate about
helping people, food, my family, inspire
An idea worth spreading
In the beginning there was the Word. Words were originally meant to create, not to communicate. You can change your atmosphere and condition when you let your heart and dreams be heard.
