Mijn doel als inspirator....
Maximale bewegingsvrijheid voor inkomenszoekenden en ontbureaucratisering van werkloosheid door maximale ruimte voor eigen ambitie. Vertrouwen in plaats van bestraffing.
Start bottleneck fonds dat noodzakelijke ontwikkelingskosten van ambitieuze mensen financiert die zonder het fonds blijven steken in armoede en afhankelijkheid van een uitkering onder het bestaansminimum.
I operate out of a strong sense of vision, while letting the detailed course of implementation emerge from the evolving situations being faced. I build on ideas, actions and events that they create, or spontaneously come their way.
I have “plans;” but don’t implement plans and don’t want to be constrained by plans. I know where I would like to go but do not always know the route by which I am going to get there!
For the past 6 years I have been inspirator to the folks in Bunabumali, Uganda and showed them how to connect rural Uganda to modern day Africa on a shoestring budget. What starterd of as a one hut project now is a unique development project showing what can be achieved with creativity and perseverance.
Using the same termite approach I am now focussing on creating new opportunities for unemployed people in the Netherlands..
