Miranda

‘Since SIAMA is not a regular travel agency, it is a big challenge for me to develop tailor made automated systems which help my colleagues Serving those who Serve even better. It’s SIAMA’s Mission that decided me to stay after my internship.’
Maikel
ICT expert, since 2006
It is truly a blessing to be able to assist all Missionaries worldwide for already 39 years now. I joined SIAMA when I was 18 years’ old and I still enjoy every day. I am grateful to all our members giving us the opportunity to serve them with their travel arrangements already since 1970!

‘Missionaries and development workers, who have travelled with SIAMA,have shared
experiences in their travels and projects. Which experience has touched you the most?’
‘An experience of one of our SIAMA Members touched me greatly when I was a trainee. I namely worked with SIAMA during the period SARS was spreading to be a life-threatening epidemic. Knowing families were waiting for days on airports with lack of information, just waiting helpless, was a great motivation to do the work we do every day.’
‘It is always lovely to hear about the many projects our friends help with and organize. As a mum, I love projects involving the work with and for children. For example the You Have Got Talent project, arranged by Mr Tim Patton from WEC.’
‘Small as it may be, but somebody gave us a picture of SIAMA’s Delft blue style calendar which was hung up in a small cabin in the middle of Africa. It gave me the feeling SIAMA really is all around the world: Serving those who Serve. I have placed this photo on my notice board and it stayed there ever since.’
‘I had the opportunity to visit Jolanda Kuiphof (Stichting Baraka) who is working with street boys in the Kibera slum, Nairobi, Kenya. It was overwhelming to see the reality of missionary life and it made my admiration for people leaving their country to help the less fortunate even greater.’
