The construction of the school for the Colegio Asher will largely be able to be realised thanks to help and money from Canada. A religious community from Saint John in New Brunswick is playing an important role in this. Before the end of this year, representatives from this community and some board members from the stichting Colour4kids will meet each other. Information about the planning and work will then be exchanged with the Asher Foundationas customer and the Dominican contractor.

* Start groundwork

* The Dutch Colour4kids foundation (www.colour4kids.nl) has offered to help with the construction of the school building so essential for the Colegio Asher. This includes financial assistance and providing workers. Our foundation will be able to help by providing information, presentations, and communications. The building is a major project and another step in providing a better future for many underprivileged children. According to the plans, a start will be made with the construction of a technical school; a technical school at which the pupils will receive practical lessons that are lacking in the Sosúa area. It is important because this education will mean that the children will no longer be dependent on a job in tourism, but can also qualify as carpenters, electricians, etc. There are currently only redundancies in the tourism sector, because of the declining number of tourists as a result of the economic crisis in many countries.
We are happy that this building project is receiving assistance and effort from the Dutch Colour4kids foundation, which also has a lot of knowledge of construction.

The new issue number 30 of the in-flight magazine Arke Flyer contains an article about our foundation. In the section "I stand for ......." ArkeFly has offered us a platform to reach a wider audience. In the months August, September and October, this magazine will be in ArkeFly’s aircraft, and we are therefore sincerely grateful to ArkeFly for the help that our foundation is receiving.

Another trip to Sosúa is planned this spring.

Thanks to a wealthy Canadian gentleman, the final purchase of a plot of land by the Asher Foundation for the Colegio Asher will soon take place. This will be the future site for a school building. It will clearly be an enormous asset for the Colegio. This will therefore put an end to the enforced moves due to constantly recurring sudden doubling of the rent imposed by the owners of the premises.
