Majorn maduro "A true Hero "


Majron works with youth of the Fuik neighborhood in Curacao, giving them the opportunity to learn and develop vital skills that are important for their development as responsible citizens for our community he does this though activities that promote pattriotismand clitoral development.
Majron has been involved in community work for 5 years. He started when he was only 22 years old and already self-sufficient. It is highly remarkable that despite his young age and his difficult past (a not-wanted child from a poor single parent family, mother and 4 children, lack of money and food), he became so committed to improving his neighborhood and the life of others, especially the youth from poor / problem families, by motivating and inspiring them and giving them tools to improve their own life.
Majron was raised in Kinderoorden Brakkeput and G.O.G. (government reformatory in Curacao ). He grew up to be a positive young man, against all odds. He now uses his experience to help other youngsters who otherwise would not have the opportunity to develop themselves positively. He is currently working on projects to foster awareness of horticulture, team building, knowledge of culture, patriotism and music skills among the youth.
He has a direct impact on his own environment. He teaches the young people around him to be disciplined, independent, take responsibility, not to give up but fight for their dreams. He reaches kids, young people, but also their parents and elderly in his neigborhood. He dreams of having his own boarding school in the future or becoming Director of such institution to be able to manage it in his own way. He has already chosen a name for a foundation, translated in English: “Foundation A Good Youngster for a Good Family”.
After terminating boarding school Majron has done all kinds of jobs, but after military service his future started to look better.
He worked as security guard at 2 public bodies before ending at Kinderoorden Brakkeput where he was offered a permanent contract as coach. He works nightshifts from 11.00 p.m. – 8.00 a.m. During the night he prepares everything for the next morning, wakes up the children who need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. At 5.00 a.m. he wakes up the children and helps them in preparing themselves to go to school. The bus picks them up every morning at 6.30 a.m.
During daytime Majron works at his plantation (project “Tera di Floria”), which was a wilderness before he developed the land, of course with the approval from the landlord. He invited the youngsters from Kinderoorden Brakkeput and from the Fuik neighborhood who found their way to this plantation where they learned the art of horticulture.He is finishing half built apartments (on the rented land with also a small and a larger somewhat dilapidated house) where youngsters can have a good start by means of a guided 2 years education, and thus a second chance after terminating their boarding school period.
He lives in the small house and the larger house is used for studying, trainings and a place to rest. A brass band is making use of this place for trainings as there is no community centre in this neighborhood. He has many future plans for the larger house like building a study, a recreation space and a tv-room.
He supports a cultural group for the yearly harvest-festival, runs the “Piki Bòter” project (collecting glass bottles to exchange for cash) to support families with financial difficulties, arranged distribution of Curacao flags and flagpoles in his neighborhood in light of the 25th anniversary of the Curacao Flag this year. On top of that he bikes 2x a week with the children of Kinderoorden Brakkeput. He sleeps very little and is always busy with his projects and supporting people 24/7.
