Background and figures as recorded in the CIA World Factbook.
The Spaniards first explored Suriname in the 16th century, and the English then settled it in the mid-17th century. Suriname became a Dutch colony in 1667. With the abolition of African slavery in 1863, workers were brought in from India and Java. The Netherlands granted the colony independence in 1975. Five years later, the civilian government was replaced by a military regime that soon declared Suriname a socialist republic. It continued to exert control through a succession of nominally civilian administrations until 1987, when international pressure finally forced a democratic election.

They are different things, done by different entities, and one is never a route to the other.
Roarcry · the church
A donation to the congregation. It is not repaid, earns nothing, and carries no claim on anything. Roarcry is not a registered 501(c)(3), so give as a gift rather than for a write-off.
A gift named for Suriname is a restricted gift: recorded against Suriname and spent there. If it cannot be spent there within a year it is pooled into the general fund and spent wherever it is needed most. That is a term of the gift, said here so that giving is agreeing to it.
Investment Fund, LLC · the issuer
A subscription for Class B units. It is at risk, it is not tax-deductible, it is not a donation, and you can lose all of it. Open only to verified accredited investors.
One fund covers every country on the map, on one set of terms. No country has its own vehicle, its own minimum or its own return.
The church is not the issuer, not a guarantor and not a party to any subscription. No donation to the church confers any interest in the fund.
This site publishes no safety assessment of its own. Conditions change faster than any page, so these link to the governments that issue advisories and revise them.
