RUBIS Suriname is proud to have contributed to the success of the 2025 Dobru Festival, held from March 24th to 29th. This vibrant cultural event was organized by the R. Dobru Raveles Foundation to commemorate the 90th birthday of celebrated Surinamese poet and writer Robin “Dobru” Raveles, a symbol of national unity and a lasting inspiration to generations of creatives across Suriname.
As part of its ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), RUBIS Suriname donated USD 700 to support the festival’s activities. The contribution reflects RUBIS’s dedication to preserving Suriname’s rich cultural heritage while promoting youth empowerment through the arts.
Miss Gerlind Braam, Treasurer of the R. Dobru Raveles Foundation, expressed her gratitude for the support:
“We are very happy with RUBIS’s contribution. It shows that they truly understand the value of investing in our communities and in our youth. Their support goes a long way in keeping Dobru’s message alive and helping young creatives flourish.”
In response, Mr. Euan Irving, Sales Manager at RUBIS Suriname, remarked:
“We are honored to support an initiative that speaks so strongly to Surinamese pride, culture, and unity. RUBIS believes in making meaningful contributions to the communities we serve, and the Dobru Festival is a perfect reflection of that mission.”
With this donation, RUBIS Suriname reinforces its role as a responsible corporate citizen, actively engaging in initiatives that generate long-term social value and uplift local communities.
