Board of Directors

 

President: Serah James is the founder and President of the foundation. She was born in Juba, South -Sudan to Nigerian Parents. She came to the Netherlands in 1998 and has since then resided in the country.

Serah James is an Alumnus of the prestigious University of Social Sciences in Rotterdam, where she graduated Cum laude and obtained a combined degree in Management, Economics and Law. She is a civil servant to the core, she has worked in different municipality government in the Netherlands. Fulfilling functions as operational personnel, Teamleader and expert in law enforcement.

But in all of these, giving back to the community has been her number one wish, especially since it became obvious that the Dutch society was missing the knowledge of the beautiful culture and traditions of Africa. And the Africans residing in the Netherlands were yearning for a platform to showcase all the beautiful things they had to offer the Dutch society.

And this brought about the birth of Cultuur Jam Foundations in May 2014.
