The board of the Nemato Foundation Netherlands

Chairperson: Ellen Fober

ellen fober

My name is Ellen Fober, born in Brunssum and currently living in Heemskerk.
After travelling through South Africa for a few weeks, I was struck by the great difference between wealth and poverty. When I returned home , I felt that I wanted to do something with my feeling . 4 months later I returned to South Africa as a volunteer, invited by Stenden University Port Alfred . I worked at several projects in township Nemato in Port Alfred and at JJH Foster Home in Alexandria where 80-100 Foster children between 0-18 years are living.

Because of the many contacts I got after volunteering, I was asked to take over de Nemato Foundation , I did not have to think twice about this opportunity.

Now the Nemato Foundation Netherlands works with Child Welfare Port Alfred and with the board of JJH Foster Home.

In October 2014 I made a new volunteer programm in collaboration with Child Welfare Port Alfred and the Dorr Family in Alexandria . Anyone who is interested in volunteering, please contact me. You are very welcome!

On a regular base I ask attention for the projects by giving lectures and through exhibitions of pastel drawing that I make myself from the children from the townships.

 

Secretary: Audrey Meesters

Audrey MeestersFrom the First of may 2015 I will replace AliseZijlstra because of her busy schedual.

My name is Audrey Meesters. I am 24 years old and living in Schagen.

During my study at the Stenden University in Leeuwarden, I decided to follow my minor Event Management for 2,5 months at the Stenden University in Port Alfred (South Africa).

During this 2,5 months I felt in love with South Africa, but I was also very shocked of the poverty and difference in this Country. In these 2,5 months I visited several projects in the NematoTownship and also JJH Foster Home in Alexandria.

Because I experienced these project closely, I would like to work and help the Nemato Foundation Netherlands.

Boardmember Nemato Foundation SA : Sally Blake
Sally

My name is Sally Blake and I was born and raised in England. I moved to South Africa in

1981 and up until December of 2017 I had been teaching in a Montessori school in Johannesburg for the last eighteen years, I operated as Deputy Principal. At the end of last year my husband and I decided to move to Port Alfred. This gave me the opportunity to offer my services as a volunteer particularly working with children, as my passion lies in being involved in their learning and growing. Having met Ellen and understanding the work of the Nemato Foundation will hopefully allow me to volunteer on the different projects and follow my passion in helping whenever and wherever I can.

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background or his religion.
People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love
for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
