 The Rotary Club of Voorschoten-Leidschendam made a donation destined to provide post-school activities for the youngsters of Wishi-Marchena.The Wishi-Marchena neighborhood is typified by above average incidence of poverty and single-parent families.
As a result many children are neglected at home and either take to the streets, or become couch potatoes. Either way their physical and intellectual development is stunted by the lack of nourishment for both body and soul. |

 On November 9, 2009 the Rotary Club Willemstad was visited by representatives of Kinderoord Brakkeput and the "Un Bon Hoben Pa Un Bon Famia" Foundation.
Earlier this year RCW's Charities Commission identified an interesting project for the youth in Fuik. Fellow Bill Winkel of the Charities Commission made a strong case for a donation to Majron Maduro for his excellent work with the youth in the Fuik region, in this case making it possible for the Fuik youth to participate in the Seu-parade.
Majron Maduro's work was also recognized by the community since he recently won the "Unsung Hero Award" of Curaçao. So we were very interested in learning more about Majron Maduro and the projects he has initiated.

 On Monday, November 02, 2009 a young man with a mission called Ryan de Jongh took the floor at the Rotary Club Willemstad meeting. Most of us had heard of Ryan as an incredible kayaker, known for circumventing Curaçao in 2007 in 33 hours. That challenge was but one in a long, and growing, list of trials that Ryan has taken on.
But all previous challenges pale in comparison to his next feat titled the "Clear Water Challenge". Driven by a passion for nature, Ryan explained to all in attendance that he intends to travel by kayak from Saint Martin all the way to Curaçao! Along the way he will make stops along the many islands that line the eastern part of the Caribbean basin. |
