SVHB

Foundation, erected in 2003 bij inhabitants of the village of Holten as a preparation of a group journey to the village of Bedanda, Guinee-Bissau as an initiative of Paul Akkerman.

Paul Akkerman was working in Bedanda from 1987 till 1991 as a developmentworker. All the time there was friendship between Bicosse Nandafa and other villagers and himself. There were yearly visits, and small projects took place.
You can find that history in his book "Op zoek naar anderen" ( ISBN 90-70365-83-9 ).
Since that time many projects and several group journeys to Guinee-Bissau took place.
The drinking water project started in 2005.
