Beautiful Flores
 |  |
Janine Asselbergs visited the island of Flores, Indonesia, in August and September. She has made an inventory of ongoing projects there. Also, on October 7th at our coffee morning Janine gave a fascinating presentation.
Current projects include, amongst others:
-A paud (kindergarten) in Poco. This consists of 35 children of 3-6 years.
-A paud in Ting. 46 children are enrolled.
-A nutrition project in Welong.
-Funding for education of orphans and / or very poor children.
In the coming months it will become more clear what role Future for Kids can play. The conditions on Flores are very primitive and unhygienic. It will take some time to go before we will be able to form a clear picture. But we must start somewhere. In northern Thailand, we started 15 years ago to offer help (even before the foundation was founded). This Centre has grown into a well organized Centre with a solid structure. We hope to use that experience to help to build the schools on Flores.
As mentioned earlier, the foundation’s first contribution came with the purchase of a laptop for the leaders of pauds in Poco and in Ting
Janine has created a very interesting (travel) report and is available on request. Send us a short email and we will send this report to you free of charge.
Our coffee concert in the Jan Tabak Hotel

With great pleasure we look back on that very successful musical morning at the Jan Tabak Hotel. Lots of great responses reached us and there are spontaneous offers to assistance many of our projects. With many thanks to the fantastic musicians led by Arie Nijman and John Zielman. What a special atmosphere that morning! Over 75 people have visited the coffeeconcert. We like to thank everyone, who came to the Jan Tabak Hotel in Bussum. It was a morning to remember!
