Among those present were the deputy director of Category Social Work and the staff of the Ministry of SoZaVo Minister Ramsaran indicated that he had received several letters from residents within the Esther Foundation, and that he is paying attention to this.

The minister has set up a working group to propose solutions for bottlenecks within the foundation Furthermore, jacintha thomas-alfaisi was installed on January 26, 2023 as the new chairperson within the board of the Esther Foundation.

The SoZaVo minister emphasizes the importance of dialogue “Nobody benefits if there is unrest within the foundation.

We will have to work together on structural solutions, so that the Esther Foundation can once again experience its glory days,” said Minister Ramsaran In its press release, the ministry does not say a word about what the 'bottlenecks within the foundation' actually are.

It is therefore a message without concrete content Dr readers are again left with many questions.

Incidentally, the so-called "glory times" date from at least before 2013, according to an overview, not a complete overview, of actions, work interruptions of the staff since that year It is therefore not the first time that there have been problems within the Esther Foundation.

Since 2013, the staff has regularly taken action to put pressure on SoZaVo to solve problems 2013 In mid-November 2013, staff took action until a solution was found for the home's problems.

Waiting and transport allowances were not paid The home, staff and residents had to do without various facilities.

2014 In the first week of March 2014, the measure was full again for the staff of the Esther Foundation The employees went on strike.

There had been no leadership at the foundation for years and that was very high for the staff There were also ambiguities about the positioning of employees in the job information system of the Government, FISO.

In addition, the accommodation of the Esther Foundation was in a completely dilapidated state Both the buildings and the grounds were in a bad state, in some places there was no electricity, while little or no maintenance was done.

The workforce has decreased from 125 to 50 people A few months later, in August 2014, the staff went on strike again.

There was severe understaffing In a department where at least seventeen people are needed, there were only eleven people.

Extra work had to be done on weekends and public holidays, without people receiving their extra compensation Some employees had not received their extra compensation for five months.

Five people had to use one bucket to clean, there were no gloves, not enough brooms, no face masks and other means to allow employees to work smoothly and safely There was also still no director.

2018 The staff of the Esther Foundation went on strike around December 14, 2018 out of dissatisfaction Director Liefda Somo, employed for 3 years, would communicate badly with the staff and that the employees were therefore not motivated.

“The management here does its thing on its own,” was the criticism In addition, residents stated that the food was the same every day.

There was also talk of raising the rent 2021 The staff of the Esther Foundation also discussed again at the end of April 2021.

The employees wanted payment of, among other things, the transport allowance and also a better salary 2022 Also in July 2022 there was dissatisfaction among the staff.

She wanted lot improvement There were also backlogs in the promotion of certain members of staff.

In short, the Esther Foundation has been struggling with various problems and issues for years and there seems to be no sustainable solution, so that the staff can work comfortably again in a beautiful environment and with satisfied residents That there are now problems again and responsible minister Ramsaran has actually been called to account says enough.

Hopefully, besides talking nice words, the minister can also finally put a definitive end to the problems of the staff and ensure and supervise that all allowances and the like are paid properly on time PK so that the staff can work pleasantly again in a beautiful environment and with satisfied residents.
