Off to the Antilles

Tomorrow morning Anand and I, accompanied by Vasco Tonch, the guy we are working for at the moment, are off to the Dutch island of Bonaire to meet with the director of DIGH, a Dutch financial institution that finances housing projects. We plan to speak about setting up a project development company that will provide projects around the Caribbean for DIGH to finance. Additionally, there is a get together on Bonaire of Caribbean housing associations and the director of DIGH will introduce us to them so that we can promote the steel build houses that Vasco Profiles makes. That the meeting is in Bonaire is very advantageous because a couple of steel build houses happen to have been built on Bonaire already so it will be easy for us to show people around the houses and answer all their questions. Before we arrive in Bonaire, however, we will spend two days on Curacao. Daisy is still there, so I hope I will be able to meet up with her as well. On our way back to Suriname we will spend a day in Aruba to meet with the director of an aruban bank that has shown interest in our trust company and financing projects in Suriname. The trip won't be all work and no play, I'm sure. I have packed my swimming trunks and intend to enjoy the white beaches and clear Caribbean water!!
