Bolduc went back in February 2015 to see what was left of the training sessions. She was
pleasantly surprised by the impact that the previous visit has had. The idea that we could not
leave it to that was born.
Back at work in healthcare, she told her experiences to Andreas. He immediately became
enthusiastic and offered to go on a next trip so she could also share her expertise and experience.
A client with a special need who heard this story then said that she also wanted to come along.
This made Bolduc and Andreas think: can we bring experts/ volunteers from America to Kenya
and Uganda as trainers? How nice would it be if this idea would work out. But if you do it you
must do it well.
And so, in September 2016, the Luana Foundation was established through the notary. A
Foundation that enables experts and volunteers to contribute to our projects as trainers under
expert supervision. As a trainer they use their skills that they have gained in various fields of
expertise to give marginalized people worldwide a head start in the field of self-reliance.
These marginalized people see these trainers as examples, which helps these trainers gain more
self-confidence and rise above themselves. In this way we make the world a little more beautiful
for those who cannot do so themselves and funding also their livelihood self-reliance project.
