Adapting to a new country is a challenge. Worldwide is here to help you. The best way to ensure that you are the best you that you can be in a new environment is by building a network. Networks are not just for business people; it is also a valuable way to build a support base for those days when the longing becomes too much and everyone is just too far away.<\/p>\n

Worldwide\u2019s World Guide is where South African businesses from around the world get together to create a community. Small businesses can enjoy Worldwide\u2019s free service abroad and list their businesses on the interactive guide themselves. In this way, they become part of the wonderful networking opportunity!<\/p>\n

This month we focus on businesses in Netherlands<\/strong> that you can support.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu Kuns-kafee<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ubuntu is a humanist philosophy that revolves around dedication and relationships between people.<\/p>\n

Without dedication, you can’t make art. Art comes from your heart, from your gut. If I make something that doesn’t “feel” right, it doesn’t get any further than our studio.<\/p>\n
