This is me

WHAT'S UP  ★  THIS IS ME  ★  IN A FLASH  ★  WHAT'S GOING ON


I am a positive person and enjoy spending time doing nice things with good people.

For many years I was 'the nanny', surrounded by lots of small children from family and friends.

All nephews and nieces are adults now and some even have their own kids.

With friends in ages between 35 and 70 I always seem to stay surrounded by small children; I like that very much and think it is pretty special.

Because I don't have children of my own, I decided to sponsor a child. Her name is Cielo and she lives in Perú.

The choice for a child in Perú is because of the Spanish language, a life long hobby of mine which now comes in handy for staying in touch with my sponsor child. Cielo just turned 4 years old when I became her sponsor in 2012 and she now writes letters to me herself. She also always sends a drawing with her letters and every other year I receive a new photo of Cielo.

With this sponsorship I want to give hope for a brighter future to a child and her family who are living in poverty.

Another significant part of my life is the frequent contact and gatherings with the 'girlz group' (my chicas); a group of 11 women *)

who used to work together at Philips many years ago and who have known each other for decades now. It started with a yearly dinner, after that we added day trips and in 2006 I had organised our first weekend abroad, in Barcelona.

So, organising of travel and events to me is more than a professional skill and is also very useful at home ;)
