On Saturday December 18, Rotary club of Paramaribo Quota and Rotary club of Paramaribo Residence started a Stuka Prisiri project for the sixth time and this time in the Coronie district, 122 km from Paramaribo. The areas of focus addressed bij this project are: Child Health, Basic Education and Literacy, Economic Community Development.
A total of 8 Rotarians participate in this project. Other Rotarians will join in occasionally. 24 children from 4 primary schools (7th grade) of this district have been selected to participate in the Stuka Prisiri program that runs from January 2022 to December 2023. The goal of this project is to develop their soft skills and in that way contribute to a positive self-image of these children. The program will include the following components: art and culture, basic life skills, sport and career orientation. This time it was a special occasion because the previous programs were all performed in Paramaribo, while now it will take place in a distant district. After singing the national anthem the President of Rotary club of Paramaribo Quota, Daniëla Herkul, opened this special meeting with a speech and a representative of Rotary club of Paramaribo Residence also spoke.
The coordinator of this project and the 7 volunteers from Coronie who will support the Stuka Prisiri project were also present. The children all received a bag with, among other things, notebooks, a pencil case with contents, colored pencils, things that will be used for different activities. All participants also received a t-shirt with the Stuku Prisiri and the Rotary logo on it.
In order to carry out the project, we received a laptop, a printer, cartridges and various other attributes from a number of fellow sponsors, which we handed over to the coordinator. In between we sang some Christmas songs. Of course there was no shortage of snacks and drinks on this special day in Coronie. We ended the meeting by singing two Christmas carols namely We wish you a merry Christmas (in 3 languages) and Jingle Bells, while everyone waved enthusiastically. We are all looking forward to starting the program in January!

Today is Children's Day! The purpose of Children's Day is not only to spoil children with fun things, but also to keep children's rights up to date. RCPR has therefore decided to approach the Tamara Foundation and organize a fun day for children in crisis.
The Tamara Children's Home Foundation is a private institution that temporarily shelters children between the ages of 4 and 16 who are in crisis situations, offers them structure and provides the children with their daily care. The children stay in Tamara for 3 to 6 months. Tamara was founded in 1998 with the main goal of giving the children a better tomorrow (Tamara means tomorrow). The children come from various situations such as: physical abuse, mental abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, unexpectedly homeless or orphaned. To guarantee the privacy of these children and to protect the children, very strict rules are applied by this home. Pictures of children are therefore NOT PUBLISHED.
The Paramaribo Zoo has given the children free admission and after the treasure hunt with Mrs. Marscha, a collection of beautiful reading books was also donated to the foundation. The children were delighted to enjoy a lunch meal provided by McDonald’s. After lunch, the children surprised the organization with a beautiful song of thanks and everyone went home with a smile on their faces.
-TOGETHER we may give our children roots to grow, and wings to fly-
The Rotary club of Paramaribo Residence has gained another doctorate and has celebrated this with him defending some humorous statements, a cheerful presentation and great food. Our beloved doctor has also been the winner of the last cooking challenge (the club's fundraiser) and has treated the fellows in excess to 'the winning dish' Curry duck and BBQ drumsticks.
We all enjoyed a very nice club meeting with our guests. And in true Rotary SU spirit, all happy dollars were donated to the salvation army's project - providing children in need with fun Christmas presents.

November 6, the Rotary Club of Paramaribo Residence organized a fundraiser in the form of a cooking competition in which the fellows of the club had to prepare their food in teams at home and sell it in the Garden of the Waaggebouw. Possibilities for take-out service as well as consumption of small portions on the spot were available. The super fun sale went very smoothly and the bottom of the empty pots were quickly visible. The winners of the challenge cup and the cooks with the most bragging rights were announced by an expert jury.
Proceeds will go towards the ongoing fight against Covid-19. This will be done through support and collaboration with all stakeholders. Part of this is to continue to raise awareness of the importance of vaccinations and support for doctors and patients who, due to the lack of beds in hospitals, are forced to be treated at home. The Rotary club looks back on a very successful and competitive fellowship activity with great results that will hopefully bring some relief to the ever-changing pandemic challenges facing our community.
A word of thanks to our sponsors who spontaneously and selflessly contributed directly to the project.
On the 24th of October it is World Polio Day. It is the goal of Rotary to eradicate this disease and that can only be done with the help of you. Help us End Polio NOW!

Op maandag 18 oktober ontving Rotarian Ineke Bendter-Adams van een vriendin uit Nederland, een geschenkzending van 10 dozen met 100 catheters. Deze welkome schenking, die de patiënten goed kunnen gebruiken, is verdeeld onder het St. Vincentius en het Diakonessen Ziekenhuis. Rotary Clubs zijn altijd bijzonder blij met donaties en ondersteuning van "Friends of Rotary" wereldwijd, die onze gemeenschap enige verlichting kunnen bieden.

Zaterdag 16 oktober is de groep van RCPResidence verwend geworden bij een vocational visit van hun nieuwste fellow Gerard van Dijk. Gerard is directeur van Varross NV, de Surinaamse groothandel in vlees en vleeswaren die ook exporteert naar Guyana en Barbados. Hun klanten zijn voornamelijk slagerijen, horeca en de institutionele markt. Door overdracht van kennis waarbij meerdere generaties uit de familie een solide basis hebben gelegd en vakkundige partnerships uit Nederland, heeft Varross zich kunnen bewijzen als de toonaangevende groothandel in vlees en vleeswaren binnen onze regio. Tijdens de presentatie werd al snel duidelijk dat Varross voldoet aan elke kwaliteitsnorm die de branche eist en dat zij gefocust blijven op het leveren van kwaliteit in hun producten en diensten.
Het was een leuke en interactieve presentatie waarbij de Rotarians ook een kijkje achter de schermen mochten nemen. Uiteraard moesten ook wij aan de hygiënische protocollen voldoen maar dat leverde alleen meer plezier op. Na de rondleiding werden wij verrast met alle verschillende lekkernijen die door het bedrijf worden gemaakt. In deze gezellige setting heeft Rotarian Gerard zijn Rotarypin mogen ontvangen en hebben de fellows van een leuke fellowshiptijd kunnen genieten. Met een volle buik en ‘kerst’ pakketje in de arm hebben wij de Gastheer en gastvrouw voor deze leerrijke en leuke ervaring bedankt.
The Rotary club meeting of Thursday September 30 was in the context of highlights;
• The induction of 4 new members.
