The origin of the name is unclear. It may refer to
Peter Donders who, in 1868, was the first missionary active among the Wayambo-indians, or it may simply refer to "thunder". The village has a school, a clinic, and is home to a holiday resort. The main source of income for the village is growing
arrowleaf elephant ear for
pom, a popular dish in Suriname. The
Kalina language used to be spoken by the tribe, however as of 2014, it is only spoken by the elderly, and
Sranan Tongo and
Dutch have become the main languages. ==Transport==
