Tariq and Xiomara Getrouw. The founders of Help a Star.

What do our Founders say?

Xiomara and Tariq Getrouw are a brother/sister team born in Suriname, which is a developing country. They have learned that education and sports are two opportunities that will make a difference in a life! “Now that we have grown older, we want to help influence and support children and young adolescents who are in need. This would allow us to give back the same opportunities we were given”.

The Help a Star Foundation wants to make a difference in the world. We believe that by focusing and directly communicating to the unfortunate children, we are making an impact in their lives.
