About Angel’s Garden

Angel’s Garden is a young foundation from Purmerend that was founded on 8 June 2007 and 6 August 2007 in Paramaribo Suriname.

It is our mission to help disabled adolescents and chronically ill children who fall between the shores of the ship in Suriname. For these young people there is still no day, night, and weekend care, so they are dependent on the care of the family. They are limited, inter alia, in their social contacts. That is why Angel’s Garden wants to offer them shelter so that they can be taken out of their isolation.

This year’s report was approved on 16 October 2016 by the board of Angel’s Garden.

Board and meetings
The board of Angel’s Garden met 5 times in 2016.
