This one minute video gives you an impression of Umeebee and founder Frerieke
Parts of the video are in Dutch (scroll down for a translation)
two girls:
girl 1: Hee ee, she has just bought a book from my donation!
girl 2: wouw! finally something that offers you the possibility to see directly what happens with your money
me and african girl:
I was quite shocked seeing all this. The first moment i arrived from the airport and drove to the city, past all these townships, i knew i would try to do something for them! Umeebee offers an online platform that connects different worlds, that offers online contact. She can tell me what she has bought from my donation and i can learn a lot from her, from her world. My name is Frerieke and this is what umeebee is about. Thanks!
