Suriname’s children Sail a Future

We invited the children from Kinderhuis Johanna, Waterland and artist Dave Simson to paint the children’s dreams for the future on the jib. It was great! See all the work, and the sailing, in the next movie.

17 children, assisted by artist Dave Simson, painted their dreams of the future on Ya’s jib

Next day we went sailing. So, the children hoisted the sail and, of course, they enjoyed seeing their paintings. Their footprints make heart prints on the sail, accompanied by all creatures of the sea. You see, this is the clean, healthy and happy future the children want to live in. Don’t you?

We featured on the Children’s News in Suriname (5 minutes of colourful joy)...
And also on Suriname’s prime-time news!

This event is based on the idea and experience of Paint a Future. The Royal Talens Foundation, De Witte Lotus and Richi Taxi and Transport, and Ring Harbour Suriname supported the project.
