Greetings everyone,
It has been quite a while, so many things have changed.
These changes are good and currently i have a job as a director (out of 5 people) in the Tuindorp Vreewijkcooperation.
It is a company that is in Vreewijk, Rotterdam and what we try to do is to use the profit that we have to the neighbourhood back, to improve people their lives.
The cooperation is not without the word Co operation, we work together with the people also in the neighbourhood and the companies, good causes etc, so that in this way of a big sense of teamwork, we are able to create a better future for everyone!
A small company through us can get more money, cause we help them get a mission from us or anything they need.
A bigger company can hire trained people from us or even make a deal in fulltime hiring those people.
Normal people that just live here, they are being heared by us and through us the local government and the bigger companies have an easier time listening to them.
This kind of teamwork creates missions, jobs to do. It is allround a positive thing for many many people that are living here in poverty.
We try to create actual hope by our authenticity and being honest.
We are the second cooperation, Afrikaanderwijk is the first neighbourhood that had one.
What we want to create are neighbourhoods that are self sustaining and to show people how powerfull they actually are as people, no matter what kind of past, what kind trauma, what kind of suffering they have been through.
It is to show that no matter what you are missing, that there is also a option for you towards a better future!
And this path will help you also find it inside of you, that things that we need are way closer to home then one might expect.
When we start a task, we also try to bring out the people of their houses and have a little chat, bring back the social neighbour feeling as well. The feeling that you are being cared for by each other.
If possible or when we are far enough, we want this in all of the country.
It is a lot of fun and hard work, but it is good work.
So many things from my past were Ego based, now i follow what i feel i need to follow.

I all wish you a good day !
