Approximately % 15 population of Suriname are Muslim Javanese. Javanese people “imported” from another Dutch colony: Indonesia (the former Dutch East Indies) make up 15% of Suriname during Dutch colonization.
They were at Onafhankelijksplein (Independence Square) at 20th of September 2009 for their holy pray at front of two historical colonial buildings of Suriname “Presidential Palace” (AKA White House locally) and “Clock Tower”.

I like to work on subjects and documentaries. I love the atmosphere of places which are full with people, like streets and marketplaces. I'm currently based in Paramaribo, Suriname / South America and ready for any assignment all over the world.
