In Kenya, we have opened a large residential building at a primary school for girls. There are many orphans at this school who stay there all week. Almost 100 girls slept in bunk beds in two classrooms in a very small space. There was no running water. Partly because of this, the school had too few classrooms, and partly because of the school's excellent results, the number of pupils grew rapidly. Now the girls have a large and beautiful residential building. We celebrated this in style.

It had to remain a secret. I caught the train to Haarlem very early in the morning. There, our chairman and founder of the Kidshare Foundation, Hans van Driel, was to receive a royal honour. Mayor Jos Wienen praised Hans’s dedication and enthusiasm, which have made it possible for Kidshare to build 66 schools in several African countries.
What a celebration it was! Last month, we opened a new preschool with Kidshare in the far north of Uganda. A very poor area where children have no chance without good education. The parents had built a mud hut there. There, the children were taught on the ground in the dusty sand.
