Initiator
Ronald Lepez (1956), played for Heerenveen and Cambuur, holds a UEFA-C license, is an instructor and project employee at the KNVB Academy, worked in primary and vocational education for 30 years.
In 2011, Ronald and his wife Barbara emigrated to Indonesia to fulfill the mission of the foundation. As of June 1, 2023, two local employees have taken over all tasks and they went back to the Netherlands. There is online contact with the employees. Ronald visits yearly our projects in January.

Good to know
In Indonesia, everyone must register under one of these five religions:
Buddhist, Catholic, Muslim, Hindu, or Christian. This is stated on your ID card.
The education system includes Muslim, private, and Christian schools. The latter do not receive any government funding.
We report all of our developments and donations on our website.
Annually, we organize a “Friends of Awas Kaki evening” for our donors.
