BOUW SCHOOLLOKALEN IN MIRUJI

14 februari 2026

In de volgende link treft u 5 korte chronologische video’s aan over de aanleg van klaslokalen in het afgelegen en armoedige gebied dat Miruji heet. Op 5 februari is daar de bouw van de lokalen begonnen. De beelden laten zien hoe groot de motivatie van de bevolking is. 

De video’s spreken veel mensen in zowel Nederland als Kenia op Facebook aan. De afgelopen dagen hebben de video’s op Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/WimvandenBurgKeniaProject ) binnen een paar dagen zelfs bijna 15.000 personen bereikt met veel reacties. Hieronder ziet u er 2 van.

Ik wil graag benadrukken, dat ik dat niet als een persoonlijk succes beschouw. We doen het namelijk gezamenlijk: sponsors, bevolking, werknemers, leerkrachten, autoriteiten enz. Op die manier werken we allen samen mee om de armoede te bestrijden en zo veel mogelijk armlastige kinderen aan een goede toekomst te helpen door goed onderwijs.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Mr. Wim van den Burg for his remarkable support and generosity towards the people of Miruji and the wider Lamu community.

Your decision to build classrooms at Miruji is more than an act of development—it is an investment in the future of our children and generations to come. These classrooms will provide a safe, supportive, and motivating environment for learning, giving our learners hope, confidence, and the opportunity to dream bigger.

Your unwavering support for education in Lamu has truly towered above expectations. You have shown that real change begins when we uplift education and empower young minds. Because of your kindness and commitment, many children will now access quality education with dignity and pride.

I deeply appreciate your vision, compassion, and belief in the power of education to transform lives. May your generosity continue to inspire others, and may God bless you abundantly for the positive impact you have made in our community.

Once again, thank you, Mr. Wim van den Burg, for standing with Miruji and for being a true champion of education in Lamu. .

Mr William, you are the man our generations will keep in their memories.Ever since I knew you back in 1990s you have changed the phase of our education in Lamu infrastructure. It is a fact that you don't get any funding from our nation. You have done more than it can be said. I wish I had the power to recommend that you be awarded with the head of state commendation for the patriotism in you. 

Congratulations and be counted in God's plan for your many days to come. 

I count you as my hero for your honesty. Today hundreds of families are living with something on their table because you are a true statesman, I am happy you believe in us. You are honest, trusted and more: a man of integrity. 

I will make sure I mention your name for recommention to be honored for being a non politician Lamuan who has big heart for our people. 

Thank you for doing it right for the Miruji family.

Type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
