Committed to Protecting Lagun

As Secretary of Pro Lagun,
Sarinca is dedicated to restoring and safeguarding the environment of Lagun. With a background in administration and leadership experience in Toastmasters, she brings strong organizational skills to the foundation. 

For Sarinca, this mission is deeply personal. Her family’s farmland once thrived near Lagun, but over time, the landfill has transformed the landscape and impacted the surrounding environment. She advocates for sustainable waste management and responsible policies to protect public health and Bonaire’s natural beauty. Though she often works behind the scenes, her commitment to meaningful change remains unwavering.

Financial Stewardship for a Sustainable Future

As Treasurer of Pro Lagun,
Myvianca ensures transparency and accountability in the foundation’s financial management. With a master’s degree in accountancy and a post-master’s in control, she brings extensive experience from both accountancy and the insurance sector. Her structured approach and analytical skills help set clear financial goals that support Pro Lagun’s mission. 

Born and raised in Bonaire, Myvianca is deeply committed to the island’s well-being. Concerned about the long-standing environmental challenges at the landfill, she strives to contribute to sustainable solutions that protect Bonaire’s future.

Guardian of Bonaire’s past, present and future

As Member of Pro Lagun,
Farid is more then just an activist - he was a whistle blower before the term became common. He exposed and warned about what was coming , spoke up while those responsible ignored the issue, and stayed committed even as others looked the other way.

He has faced resistance and indifference for many years while tirelessly fighting to protect the people, the land, and the sea of Bonaire.

Farid lives close to the landfill and has health issues due to this fact, but claims to continue until his last breath.

Dedicated to a Sustainable Bonaire

As Member of Pro Lagun,
Michael is an intrinsically motivated individual seeking to foster community well-being.

As a “Jack-of all trades” he is not bound by a single role, he steps in where needed, ensuring that challenges are met with insight, efficiency, and a commitment to progress.

His dedication to this cause is rooted in a no-nonsense approach, ensuring that Pro Lagun’s objectives are not compromised.
