The Dutch social worker Nanko van Buuren (63) in Rio de Janeiro deceased cardiac arrest. He founded 25 years ago IBISS on which he through various projects such as ‘No more child soldier’ among many favela residents, former drug bosses and former drugssoldados became Paitron O, a mixture of father and boss.

Two years ago he received Ajax during training camp in one of the slums, as former coach Bert van Marwijk, Kees Jansma, Pierre van Hooijdonk, Wilfred Genee and Johnny de Mol him in the districts visited us. For what he achieved with ‘reconciliation’ (reconcile and mediate) in the so-called favelas Van Buuren was in 2011 Desmond Tutu Prize.
In the favelas has been raging for years war (drug) cartels. Football was considered one of the leading means to dissuade young people choose the wrong turn. Yoko Ono, widow of John Lennon, a few years ago donated ten people in the world – that mediate in conflict-situations and violence – a pistol-shaped badge. Van Buuren was one of them. Domestically, he was made an Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau
