About us:
SOS Velsen, Foundation for
Development Co-operation Velsen, has been
erected in June 1985,
as a co-operation connection of people with
different
spiritual backgrounds and with an active
interest for development co-operation
|
 |
The
twinning with Galle, Sri Lanka, has been erected in
September 1976 and was maintained by a few civil
servants.
In 1985, the then Mayor of Velsen, had the view that
this twinning has to be supported more broader, by
means of a foundation,
which boardmembers had to come from different areas,
like education, culture, religion, banking, health
care, etc.
In June 1985 the foundation SOS Velsen had been
erected.
