PR & fundraising committee

The Kolewa PR committee (Annemiek van Haastregt, Ed Monteiro and Christien Innikel) ensures that Kolewa is brought to the attention in every possible way. The committee is supported by several former interns, volunteers and other friends of Kolewa who act as ambassadors.

Staff on Bali

Syta and Peter are since 2015 supported by a small, enthusiastic and hardworking team. Ana, Uttari, Widia, Holldyn and Ersa run the shelter home “Rumah Bicara” in Denpasar. Under supervision of teamleader Ana they escort patients to the hospital, give speech lessons in the relief centre and on several locations, they join outreach-activities, missions and family gatherings.  Housekeeper Klement, cooker Heldi and driver Komang were added to the team in 2016/2017.

Board of Yayasan Kolewa Harapan Indonesia

In 2017, the activities were officially registered in Jakarta under the name Yayasan Kolewa Harapan Indonesia. Since then, both NGOs have been counterparts. The various projects are carried out from the Yayasan. The raising of local funds is also receiving increasing attention, and with success. The board in the Netherlands receives a report of all activities every quarter.

Volunteers and Interns

Very often we have volunteers and interns, especially from The Netherlands. About three to four days a week they help out with creative activities, teaching English and supporting our staff. Read more

For a future with a smile!

In Indonesia, many children are still waiting for surgery or medical help. Children with schisis, hearing problems, severe physical deformations due to burns, spina bifida or anus atresia. Our goal is that they can grow up like any other child. Kolewa is totally dependent on donations. For 550 euros it is possible to operate a child with schisis. With each amount you can make a difference. Support Foundation Kolewa. Give them a future with a smile!
