Representatives of Albert Heijn and the Blue Skies Foundation visited Egypt this month to look at how the Foundation can be extended to implement projects here in 2017. Ge Happe and Henri Zondag from Albert Heijn along with Frank Brinkman from Bakker joined Anthony Pile and Simon Derrick in a visit to the factory, hosted by General Manager Mohamed Abdul Razik and his team. Together they visited the factory and stopped off at a mango farm in the town of Belbes before looking at two potential projects including an education centre and a clinic.
The Foundation Board will meet in January 2017 to approve projects to support next year and hopes to be able to consider its first project from Egypt.
