Status:

Timeline:
November 20 06 to November 30 07
Description:
This is a one year (pilot)project that stimulates young people to give back to the Bonairean community.
Background:
Everyone dreams of a better world, but who does something about it? With this project we want to contribute to the development of our own island.
Objectives:
Our objective is to stimulate Bonaire youngsters to contribute to the community by working as volunteers.
We also want to teach privileged youngster to realize that there is poverty on the island and that they should contribute to it also.
And finally we would like the underprivileged youngsters participating with this project to realize that with effort they can get out of poverty.
Milestones:
The project began last year with the distribution of Christmas presents to underprivileged children. Now, the teens, under guidance, are going to repair houses of people who need this work but cannot do it themselves, like the elderly, single mothers and the handicapped.
Budget:
This project is partly financed by USONA. Sunbelt Realty, Playa Trading and Krioyo Paint have also contributed to the project.
