The JoHo foundation is an international organization that runs on the basis of work, travel and international cooperation and has locations all over the world. Rotterdam is a home to one of the JoHo centers. I find JoHo to be unique for many reasons.

At first glance when walking into the store, you would guess that it was just a travel book store with travel gear and equipment, souvenirs, and for Rotterdam even a small cafe where you can enjoy a coffee, tea and a small meal. However there is a deeper goal, they are involved in many international, foreign aid, insurance, community and social work. On their website you can find more information on Development & Business, Travel & Accommodation, Jobs & Education and so much more about other countries, and great tips.

My hats are off to this organization for their successes each year in setting up development projects, helping over 1000 young people finding jobs abroad, the entrepreneurial involvement with business in foreign countries, sending 5,000 volunteers going where they are needed, providing education and more. If you are ever in the town of Leiden, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, or Groningen I encourage you to find a JoHo International Experience center to support their organization and so they can continue the work they do.
