In Mali Marijn Poels visited albinos in remote villages and accompanied volunteer Corry van Zelm during the local production of sun block. In 2011 she worked together with two albinos for several months to set up this production process in a laboratory at the Dermatologisch Instituut Marchoux in de capital city Bamako. In the meantime this project has been successfully completed and the albinos can be provided with their own ‘Made in Mali’ sun block.

Pupil's project at the Frencken College once again succesfull
Wednesday, 30 November 2011 18:56
The Frencken College in Oosterhout (the Netherlands) has supported the stichting for the third year in succession. This time with the handsome sum of € 1087,98! Stichting Afrikaanse Albinos would like to thank the pupils and everyone else involved most heartily for this support.
Stichting Afrikaanse Albinos received a generous donation of 2.010 euro from Café Averechts in Utrecht. This was from the ‘tips jar’ which is emptied every two months and is used to support various projects. Customers can deposit their tips there and Café Averechts is pledged to double the amount.
On their website Crystal Clear has directed attention to the Stichting Afrikaanse Albinos by publishing the story of the founder, Nienke Sonneveld. This article about the establishment and activities of our foundation was written as part of the theme 'Women in Control'.
At Crystal Clear they believe in women as a force, Women in Control! Women who use their intuition, creativity, charm, warmth and perseverance to make a difference. Their mission is to inspire people and make them happier. The Stichting hopes that this article will raise awareness as to their aims and, of course generate more support from the ‘women of Crystal Clear’.
With the help of a lot of volunteers the large shipment Omega Pharma Nederland BV has been sorted and packed into our 10 litre-boxes. After a recalculation it turned out that it didn’t concern 1200 litres, but as much as 1550 litres.
With this amount almost 1300 albinos will have a year’s supply of un block! For the Stichting this is a new record for a donation of sun block.
COS Flevoland and Flevoland Broadcasting have given filmmaker Marijn Poels the assignment of making a trip round the world to seek out the eight biggest global problems. As part of this project 'ROUTE 2015' Marijn Poels also visited Mali, where he filmed albinos and the Stichting Afrikaanse Albino's project for local production of sun block.
