<br />
I believe in a world where all people can live in happiness,<br />
and that I too have a duty to create such a world.<br />
I believe that for every human being there may be love, justice, pardon and peace.<br />
I believe that joy will overcome sadness,<br />
that love is stronger than hatred,<br />
that not death has the final word, but life;<br />
all this I belief by Jesus of Nazareth.<br />
He has shown that such a world, such a life is possible<br />
and that it is worth while dedicating ourselves to such a world.<br />
I want to orientate myself towards Him. I want to live in his spirit,<br />
because I believe that I can work for the salvation of others<br />
and that this way happiness for others and myself is most successful.<br />

Ik geloof in een wereld waarin het voor alle mensen goed is om te leven,<br />
en dat het mede mijn taak is zo'n wereld te scheppen.<br />
Ik geloof dat er voor iedere mens liefde, gerechtigheid,vergeving en vrede kan zijn.<br />
Ik geloof dat de vreugde het zal winnen van het leed,<br />
dat liefde sterker is dan haat,<br />
dat niet de dood het laatste woord heeft, maar het leven;<br />
dit alles geloof ik door Jezus van Nazareth.<br />
Hij heeft laten zien dat zo'n wereld, zo'n leven mogelijk is<br />
en dat het de moeite waard is zich voor zo'n wereld in te zetten.<br />
Ik wil mijn leven op Hem oriënteren.<br />
Ik wil leven in zijn geest, omdat ik geloof<br />
dat ik zo anderen tot heil ben<br />
en dat daarmee het geluk van anderen en van mijzelf<br />
het meest gebaat is.<br />

<b>Every year an enthusiastic group of volunteers in our churches organizes an interesting and pleasant day out for the senior members of the congregation, which is not at all an easy job. The thing is: they are all more or less having difficulty walking, which gets worse the older they grow, and finding the right places for a trip causes some racking of one's brains. But ....the organizers are inventive people and found this museum.</b></h3>
<h3>
<b>Our wonderful organizers have found a great solution which doesn’t need a lot of walking: the Kermis Museum! A kermis is a fair, and a fair was always popular with the young ones, many of them found a partner at a “kermis”.This visit was a great and excellent choice, for there was also a possibility to stay indoors and avoid a wet suit in case of rain.</b></h3>

<h2>
<span style="color: #134f5c;">This was our ship. We left later than planned due to a strong wind. All night and the greater part of the next day we sailed. We had plenty of time to explore the Costa Magica and we were able to make the acquantance of the other members of our group. Stavanger was the first stop where we could disembark and walk around for a couple hours</span>.</h2>
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">I remember the happy times we spent here with the children. We were invited by a Norwegian family whom we met in Rotterdam in the Norwegian church. This was long ago almost 48 years have past now.This family taught us to speak Norwegian.</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Back on board we had to suffer "Sloepenrol" or "Lifeboat drill". It was rather funny actually, for my sister took her umbrella with her. I have the feeling that we all enjoyed ourselves immensely.</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Oh, and yes my sister and I were the oldest members of the group, which was not always nice, for we were treated like invalids.</span></h2>

We zagen militairen van allerlei
rangen, kleuren, die overal op de wereld dienst hebben gedaan. Er waren
soldaten die in de Tweede Wereldoorlog hadden gevochten.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">Het was
soms ontroerend om de oude krijgers te zien marcheren. De jonge soldaten
die nog niet zo'n ervaring hadden meegemaakt, maar wel klaar waren hun
land te verdedigen, maakten op mij erg veel indruk, omdat sommige van
hen jong zouden sterven of gevangen genomen zouden worden. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Tu<span class="text_exposed_show">ssen
al deze troepen miste ik de soldaten die ik als kind gezien had en die
als gevangenen van het Japanse leger op ons erf in Malang hun eten
moesten koken.<br /> De Japanse bezetting was nog maar pas begonnen in
maart 1942. Japanse militairen hadden de school tegenover ons huis
ingenomen. <br /> Op een dag kwam er een soldaat vragen of zijn gevangenen hun eten mochten klaar maken op ons erf. Het waren Molukse soldaten.</span></b></span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"></span><br />
<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"> Ze zaten op hun hurken te kipassen( te wapperen)om het vuur brandend te houden.( Een kipas is een bamboe waaier.)<br /> Een jonge Molukse jongen zei, terwijl hij mijn moeder niet aankeek:"Mevrouw, Nederland zal toch herrijzen!".Gelukkig verstond de Japanse soldaat die naast hem stond, geen woord Nederlands<br /> Wat moeder terug zei, weet ik niet meer, maar ze keek de jongen ontroerd aan.</span><br />

Nederlands-Indische Leger) had er gisteren bij moeten zijn. Zij waren de
trouwste soldaten van dit leger. Dit werd niet beloond, want toen ze in
de vijftiger jaren in Nederland kwamen, werden ze allemaal ontslagen. Ze hadden alles in Ambon en de andere eilanden achtergelaten. Ze zijn heel slecht behandeld door de Nederlandse regering.
Dus nodig deze mannen volgend jaar vooral uit.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>Last week we celebrated Veteran Day.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>We saw soldiers of all ranks and colours, who had served all over the world. There were soldiers who had fought in World-war II. It was touching to see the old warriors marching on. I was impressed by the young soldiers who had not yet witnessed these experiences, but were ready to defend their country, while some of them were going to die young or would become prisoners of war.</b></span><br />
<br />
<h3>
Among all those troops I missed the soldiers who I had seen when I was a child and who, being prisoners of the Japanese army, had to cook their meals in our yard in Malang...</h3>
<h3>
The Japanese occupation had only just begun in March 1942.</h3>
<h3>
The Japanese military had taken the school opposite our house in their possession.</h3>
<h3>
One day a soldier came to ask if his prisoners were allowed to prepare their meals in our yard.</h3>
<h3>
They were Moluccan soldiers.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-piCuW6tPbPs/WVFVILxelXI/AAAAAAABStk/XxWW-v7BN_015-63HEqnQt068BbzjIn5QCKgBGAs/s1600/boot_on_the_ground1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="307" data-original-width="620" height="158" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-piCuW6tPbPs/WVFVILxelXI/AAAAAAABStk/XxWW-v7BN_015-63HEqnQt068BbzjIn5QCKgBGAs/s320/boot_on_the_ground1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
</h3>
<h3>
They were squatting and fanning to keep the fire burning with a kipas(a bamboo fan).</h3>
<h3>
A young Moluccan man said, while he didn't look at my mum:"Madam, The Netherlands will rise again!"Fortunately the Japanese soldier standing next to him, could not understand Dutch. I don't remember what mum said to him but she looked at him with emotion.</h3>
<h3>
Well, that boy and the other soldiers of the KNIL( Royal Dutch Indian Army) who are still alive, should have been there at Veteran Day. They were the most faithful soldiers of this army..</h3>
<h3>
They were not rewarded,for when they arrived in the Netherlands in the fifties, they were all dismissed from Her Majesty's Service. They had left everything in Ambon and the other islands.</h3>
<h3>
They were treated badly . So next time invite these men too, by all means.</h3>

The term <i>solstice</i> can also be used in a broader sense, as the
day when this occurs. The day of the solstice has either the most
sunlight of the year (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_solstice" title="Summer solstice">summer solstice</a>) or the least sunlight of the year (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_solstice" title="Winter solstice">winter solstice</a>) for any place other than the equator. Alternative terms, with no ambiguity as to which hemisphere is the context, are <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_solstice" title="June solstice">June solstice</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_solstice" title="December solstice">December solstice</a>, referring to the months of year in which they take place.<br />

At latitudes outside the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropics" title="Tropics">tropics</a>,
the summer solstice marks the day when the sun appears highest in the
sky. <br />
The word <i>solstice</i> is derived from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin" title="Latin">Latin</a> <i>sol</i> (sun) and <i>sistere</i> (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declination" title="Declination">declination</a>; that is, the seasonal movement of the Sun's path (as seen from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth" title="Earth">Earth</a>) comes to a stop before reversing direction.Reader Wilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811197833423548455.post-28175946326967290362017-05-25T23:16:00.000+02:002017-06-17T12:37:02.249+02:00Summertime is coming.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h2>
APRIL</h2>
The name of this month is derived<br />
from the Greek word for "opening". In many European countries the first of April is observed as a custom for which no satisfactory origin has been assigned. Ignorant and unsuspecting persons are sent on bootless errands, which is supposed to be great great fun. These people are called "April Fools".<br />
Therefore April 1 is called "April Fools'Day."<br />
<br />
All day I have been looking out of my windows and enjoyed the blooming Japanese cherry-tree and Crab-apple. <br />
<br />
In the garden there are daffodils, tulips, crocuses. The yellow forsythia was so beautiful and full of bloom, but now it's losing its flowers.<br />

During WWII many quotes were used to encourage the British population to keep cool and drink a nice cup-a-tea. I saw a big poster with this quote: </h3>
<h2>
"KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON".</h2>
<h2>
This is an advise we can use living in a world of racisme and struggle against poverty, diseases and starvation.</h2>
<h2>
This week we are looking for words beginning with "K" in the ABCW meme. If you want to take part in this meme, please refer to mrs Nesbitt who started this ABCW meme.</h2>

<h2>
Polling-day! I returned an hour ago from the polling-station</h2>
<h2>
to vote for one of the 26 parties we could choose from for new M.P's.</h2>
<h2>
The election campaign was harsh and full of promises, none of the politicians can prove. I didn't vote for one of the three</h2>
<h2>
Christian parties, because they are rather small and have some </h2>
<h2>
ideas, I cannot support.</h2>
<h2>
This week we had some unpleasant encounters with the Turkish government, which caused a lot of hatred. This is not the way we should treat each other and build a strong and happy Europe. And hatred is the worst adviser.</h2>
<h2>
I agree with my government that we cannot allow foreigners to use our country as a platform to fight their political problems.</h2>
<h2>
We are not a province of any other European country. We are an independent state with our own constitution and a king as head of state. We abhor dictators.</h2>
<h2>
I believe that where love and "caritas" rule, God is present.</h2>

<li><span style="color: #274e13;">.Women celebrate IWD because even if your country and mine might treat men and women as equal partners,
there are many women who are considered to be inferior to men. In many
African and Asian countries women don't get equal schooling, sometimes
no education at all. The Taliban in Afghanistan forbids girls to go to
school. They, don't get medical help, they are not allowed to work. This
is so stupid, for women are half of the population of the world, they
have the same talents, brains and potential powers as men. Even in my
country we have to deal with religious groups who forbid women to vote,
to work outside the house, to study more than only elementary education.
In Africa women work hard they have to look after their husband and
children, to walk miles to fetch water, to walk miles to go to market
and sell products of their fields. We celebrate IWD because we support women all over the world. It's not so long ago, that it
was discussed if women had souls.In the women's concentration camp we
noticed that it was normal for soldiers to beat women. And we felt it
ourselves. One of our women didn't take it lying down and beat the
soldier back.That was bad for her. The soldier was surprised and not
used to that. Greece and many European countries are better but the fact
that you say:" I don't understand women, because they have equal
rights".. means that you have never realised, THAT THIS ALL HAPPENED BECAUSE WOMEN HAVE FOUGHT FOR IT.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="color: #990000;"> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="color: #990000;">If you don't understand women, you can't understand
men either. When do humans see men and women as people, who are two
equal parts of humanity, who have to work together , and therefore
respect each other. Respect for women! That's what we miss..</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="color: #990000;">Some time ago a young woman was raped in a bus by a group of men . Nobody helped her and she died.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="color: #990000;">Does
it matter where this happened? No! It happened!! Some days later a
six-year old girl was raped by a group of men and left on the streets
more dead than alive. Does it matter where it happened? No! It happened!</span></span></li>

<li><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="color: #990000;">At Christmas my Australian daughter gave me a book. Its title is: Return to Dignity. written by Marilyn Skinner.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="color: #990000;">It deals with stories about brave women who were abused by soldiers or were trained to fight as child soldiers.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="color: #990000;">All of them managed to overcome their problems and terrible memories. All of them are now strong, caring and loving women, mothers and worthy members of society .</span></span></li>

<br />
<br />
A Polish member of the European Parliament showed himself to be a sexist hater by saying the following words:"women should earn less because they are weaker, smaller and
less intelligent".
<br />
<br />
<br />
An investigation is underway, and a decision to ban him, could be made
any moment. On International Women's Day, let's show the EU this isn't
just an internal issue anymore -- people *everywhere* want them to ban
this sexist hater.
<br />
<br />
<br />
This isn't just about one man -- this is about people coming together and
showing our politicians we completely reject the Trumps of the world
normalizing hateful, misogynist and xenophobic rhetoric. To make matters
worse - he's even given a nazi salute inside the chamber!
<br />
<br />
Mr. Korwin-Mikke's hateful speech violates the EU parliament's
regulations, and they have the responsibility to hold him accountable
with the highest possible sanctions. He can be suspended directly by the
President of the Parliament, and if 2/3rds of the MEPs agree, even
kicked out permanently!
<br />
<br />
Let’s use this International Women’s day to stand together and kick
sexism out of the European Parliament, and politics everywhere! Then
share this with friends and family who also reject sexism and xenophobia
-- let's make our call impossible to ignore!
<br />
<br />
<br />
Just a few weeks ago, Avaazers all around the world joined a global
women’s march all around the world. Let’s make sure our political
leaders stand with women against hate.
<br />

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a letter from John and Han Will to remind us of the fact<br />
that 60 years ago we all met in Zeeland, where we started work in Kapelle- Biezelinge.<br />
We came from various countries. My sister Anneke, my friend Bep Smit and I had been<br />
travelling for hours. We came from Soest and the distance to Kapelle-Biezelinge is great. .We were so happy to finally arrive at our destination, where we could have something to eat and where we could freshen up.<br />
I remember the first day vividly. Of course there were more Dutch campers than foreign<br />
campers.<br />
I am still in contact with Han and John ( H.) Will. I remember Ida( Han's sister ),<br />
en Joke( Han's friend ).Then we also met Ans Postma, who was ill.Sadly enough she<br />
had a sore throat and had to gargle. We all had to do that by way of precaution.<br />

mainly picking beans. And the beanplants were all dirty and muddy.The same was the<br />

Here endeth my letter, although I have some vivid memories of Elias from Greece among<br />
more funny situations.<br />
I
am afraid I don't know any addresses of campers apart from my sister
Anneke's.<br />
Her husband passed away in August 2014. My husband died in
November 1999.<br />
Anneke has three children, and so have I. Of course
I have your address Han and John.<br />
Thanks for your very interesting
x-mas letters.I am looking forward to seeing the<br />
booklet about this
workcamp.<br />
And if any of you visits the Netherlands, you are very welcome to stay with me.<br />
I'll show you the windmills of Kinderdijk.<br />
I also remember visiting Birthe in Denmark, and Bent in Copenhagen also in August<br />
1957 .<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium;"> Ossip Zadkine (1890-1967)</span></h1>
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Russian sculptor, painter and graphic artist,
Zadkine settled in Paris in 1910 and became an avant garde artist and
a major figure in the <i><a href="http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/history-of-art/ecole-de-paris.htm">Ecole
de Paris</a></i>. Although his <a href="http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/sculpture.htm">sculpture</a>
was influenced by both <a href="http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/sculpture/rodin-auguste.htm">Auguste Rodin</a> (1840-1917)
as well as <a href="http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/history-of-art/cubism.htm">Cubism</a> and its sister
movement of modern art, <a href="http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/history-of-art/futurism.htm">Futurism</a>,
his main concern was with dramatically expressive shapes and forms: notably
his characteristic use of concave contours and hollows.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">His best-known work is his public monument
<i>The Destroyed City</i> (1953, Rotterdam city centre), an expressionist
<a href="http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/sculpture/statue.htm">statue</a> widely regarded as one of the masterpieces
of modern semi-<a href="http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/abstract-sculpture.htm">abstract sculpture</a>. Zadkine created this statue in honour of the citizens of Rotterdam, who had seen their city bombed in the first days of May 1940. We see it as a scream to Heaven</span><br />
