Our Principles
We aim to share with you our passion for people who are in need. We are compassionate with people who are suffering as a result of natural disasters or war. There are several groups of people who have nowhere to turn to with their cry for help, and who seem to be forgotten by the rest of the world. It is to these groups who are in danger of falling between two stools, that we want to be committed.
For this aim we have established the Community Development Services International (CDSI). This is a foundation that wants to support people who suffer. CDSI offer their services in countries in the Middle East and North Africa, and possibly also in other areas. Our desire is to offer support in terms of food or development to people who suffer because of war or natural disasters.
We believe in positive change in people’s life situations, despite the brokenness and pain in this world. Even though it may be just a drop in the ocean, we know from experience how much it means to people when they receive attention and get the help they need.
