Welcome! I'm Dorine in 't Veld and on this website I present to you my activities for DVLOP Projects (please pronounce as develop projects) and my activities concerning the education of blind and low vision children and students. The website is growing, the English part was started in april 2008. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
DVLOP Projects is about learning, developing and professionalizing - as a person and/or as an organization.
Our logo, a fossil of about 100 million years old, presents a beautiful metaphor. The cephalopod that lived in it, obviously did what it was good at, in favorable circumstances, because it reached a considerable growth. In each phase of its development it created more space.
Each phase of development is different and has crystallized out in a unique way. Each phase in itself is enthralling and surprising. The result of the process is a fascinating, versatile, consistent, strong and lasting whole.
