Through his daughter Elly, who worked as a volunteer in El Progesso for Homeless Child, Theo Zwart became involved in the organization’s projects and with its enthusiastic support team. By becoming a board member of Homeless Child’s foundation Theo hoped to contribute to its core objectives.

Theo Zwart was born in 1939 and raised in the centre of the Dutch province of Brabant.  After having finished high school and having completed several evening courses in vocational training he held various positions in commerce, business administration and business management. Since 1970 Theo has had an occupation in Informatics. He, consequently, became an entrepreneur in supplying services for constructing management informatics systems, (a venture named Oasis). In the year 2000 the company, with its approx. 60 employees, was taken over by a company called Ordina. Theo retired in 2002.

For over 35 years Theo has been settled in the Vijfheerenlanden, an enchanting polder area between the rivers the Lek, the Linge and the Waal. He has spent the last 9 years in the fruit farmer’s village Schoonrewoerd in the countryside in the heart of the polder Vijfherenlanden. In his spare time Theo loves to take part in many sporting activities, such as cycling and playing golf, but is also fond of gardening. Transforming orchards which (according to its owners) have lost their original splendour within a couple of years into a natural fruit-garden, is a challenging seasonal project which Theo is always eager to get his teeth into.

For over 20 years, Theo has also been a member of the Lions organization.  In this capacity he has been able to launch and project-manage a number of fundraising projects on behalf of humanitarian aid within the country as well as abroad. Participating in Homeless Child’s foundation as a board member to Theo seems the least he can do to contribute to improving the lives and redressing the inequality faced by the street children. Even if Homeless Childs’s endeavours to shelter and guide underprivileged children in Honduras, seem to be of minor importance on the world’s scale of imbalance regarding poverty on the one hand and wealth on the other and the huge differences in people’s well-being, he clearly thinks their combined efforts are, nevertheless, worthwhile.
