“I worked as a stewardess for twelve years. In the last few years that I was a flight attendant, I already did some volunteer work. I was interested in helping people because when you go to certain countries, you see a lot of luxury. Especially where we stay. We stay in very nice hotels in very good areas. It is also for our safety that we don’t stay in certain areas, so we always have the best environment. But then when you are in that country as a tourist, you see also another side of that country. You also see the poverty. So I started doing volunteer work by bringing extra suitcases with relief supplies to the orphanages in the countries that I visited. I did that with a group of stewardesses called Wings of Support. Then I also started to bring extra relief supplies to Suriname, which is my birthplace. The high HIV rate is the problem in Suriname, so I started to bring things like condoms with me. I got in touch with other organizations in Suriname while I kept helping on my own. We cooperated with Suriname. I have been volunteering the last ten years. Everything we sell in this shop is for charity, they are connected to projects we do in Suriname. It’s a charity shop. We connect Suriname with Holland and tell people about the situation in Suriname. Because Suriname is still Dutch speaking, lots of Dutch people go there every year so when there is a problem like HIV it also relates to the Netherlands.”

Neighborhood plans get money. The residents’ jury of Amsterdam East has awarded 29 neighborhood plans from the Indische Buurt a cash prize to implement their plan. There were 43 neighborhood plans submitted. The jury, consisting of nine residents, critically assessed the plans based on criteria set in advance. ‘We also considered the visibility, appearance and sustainability of the neighborhood plans important,’ says Adrie Barnhard, chairman. ‘There appears to be a great commitment to the neighborhood.’
The jury was also pleasantly surprised by the quality and diversity of the plans. Many plans are about greenery, health and cooking together with products from their own gardens. Other neighborhood plans involve training residents in work and learning programs. With these small-scale local initiatives, residents of the Indische Buurt volunteer to work on something new. They get to know each other and also contribute to a better neighborhood. On July 4 was the festive presentation of the funds to the winning plans. Samen Indische Buurt, the cooperation of the district East with three corporations, finances the neighborhood plans.
