FAMILY MATTERS

After a very intensive springtime, it was good to really get away from it all for two weeks in July. And during that first week of our holidays we were amazed at how long a person can sleep in!

We remain impressed by the beautiful towns and cities in the Netherlands and Belgium, by the natural beauty and tranquility that you can fortunately also find in a densely populated country like the Netherlands.

It was precisely in those weeks that we received the surprising news that Jonathan had finished his modeling assignments in China, and that he would be back. Having gained 8 months of experience, he is looking for follow-up in Europe… We'll see, but are happy with good and intensive contact we had during a joint trip to a family wedding in Białystok, in the far east of the country.

In the meantime, with responsibilities also during an Ethiopian wedding, and constant contact with our students from Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania and India, to name just a few examples, we apparently do our best that it never, ever gets boring!
