Photography » Powakka presentation by `Future Leaders`

In the Ballroom of Torarica Royal Hotel in Paramaribo 4 mixed teams of `Future Leaders` (the future Mandelas and Obamas ?) presented their vision, ideas and more detailed plans in the interest of Powakka Village in Surinam. Each team was a balanced mixture of both Dutch and Surinam students who have been working close together in Surinam these last two weeksi. The programme -with a strong focus on `social entrepreneurship`- has been developed by Better Future in Culemborg, The Netherlands, on behalf of one of their major clients: Fortis. With thanks to Linn Zebeda and Marieke of the Better Future Team, directed by Managing Partners Marije Adriaansens and Michel Barth, Iwould like to present these pictures. The main topics presented in Torarica Royal Hotel were: sports, tourism (TOPO), women & culture. At the end of all presentations the female `Sjmaan` really surprised me giving me as a personal gift, a special cashew fruit. You can read more about my relation to shamanism in "Publications".
