“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.”
