13-04-’08 Lately Izaline became chairman of foundation ‘Mai Nederland’. In that function, Izaline was handed over a donation of the municipality of The Hague.
‘Curaçao is the loveliest island in the world, but with some problems too: children dropping out of school, poverty, criminality. Music can’t solve that, and I’m very proud to be the chairman of the new foundation ‘Mai Nederland’.
Last week I recieved a cheque for NAF 75,000 ($ 43,000) of the municipality of The Hague to help support the work of the foundation.
Thanks very, very much!’
