Development work is alive on Planet Earth

North and South work together in development projects of World Partners. In the north (the Netherlands) it is important to make people aware of the value of development and how money and manpower are being spent. In the south people receive help to attain a higher quality of life for themselves. In Kalimantan, Indonesia, World Partners works with the local population on a project for income improvement. The social part of this project is a kindergarten which was started some time ago. The kindergarten is running so good now that we now work on a building project for a better location and room for more children.

A church in East-Souburg in Vlissingen decided to have an action for this project. The church is exceptionally well situated on the main street with a square in front of the door. A large coffee corner was set up and brownies were sold. The province of Zeeland was very sympathetic to the action and made an additional payment to promote this and other actions. A website and a banner were made from this money to increase awareness and understanding. The coffee corner was a great success:  all coffee and brownies were sold and the result was a considerable amount for the benefit of the school. In addition, not only in the church, but also amongst the inhabitants of East-Souburg a greater interest developed for the project. World Partners warmly thanks everyone involved for their enthusiastic commitment!
