The ‘Onderdak’ Foundation project in Nicaragua: Jomanda’s World Children also donated money to the ‘Onderdak’ Foudation in Nicaragua. Maria Rieche, a lady in her seventies, works for this foundation. Several years ago she sold everything in order to help less privileged people in Nicaragua. At first, she only worked in the orphanage, but she soon realized there were many more people who needed help. After extensive deliberation with various people and authorities, she has begun a project to build new house for the poorest people. These people live in slums. Maria Rieche supplies the building materials and people have to build their own house, possibly with help from neighbours. Once the houses are completed, beds will also be provided. So far, fourteen of these houses have been built. See photos >> 3. Operation Sunshine project: This year Operation Sunshine was once again supported by the Jomanda’s World Children Foundation.
