Jennifer Peeters

Jennifer Peeters is since opening in 2018 the director of the school. This means she runs the daily tasks in and around the school as well as being the one responsible for the finances and administration. Besides this, she is the OVC coordinator which means she arranges the things needed for the OVC pupils and, in consultation with the OVC coordinator in the Netherlands, decides who is allowed in the program. Furthermore, she is the representative of the Board from our Dutch counterpart ‘Vrienden van Lotus' (translated as Friends of Lotus). Jennifer was born and bred in the Netherlands on a Winter day in 1988. As a young girl she enjoyed the family holidays the most and it saddened her to return to the Netherlands every time. When she just turned 20 she flew to New Zealand with her father to visit family and travel around. The seed planted in her head years ago, became now more than that. The Netherlands wouldn't be her forever home. Through internships, city trips, backpacking journeys, she returned to Zambia in 2014 and decided to stay. At the moment she lives in a small house near the school between the Zambians. Where she might have had a bigger house, more money on the bank and better access to the first necessities of life if she would have stayed in the Netherlands, life in Zambia has made her feel richer and happier in every way.
