Interview with Lianne.
What is ‘Lap Music’?
It teaches music to very young children, aged 4 months to 4 years alongside a parent or guardian. When the parent or guardian joins in everything, the children will copy them. For me as a teach it’s a form of art to not only give them space, but to take them along this musical journey.
Paramedic Robert has given half his corona-care bonus to the hospitality industry. At the end of last year all healthcare workers received a 1000 euro (1135 USD) bonus from the government for their efforts during the first wave of the pandemic. “They work hard in healthcare, but we have more income security than many catering entrepreneurs who are close to despair at the moment. That’s why I’ve spend 500 euros (568 USD) of that bonus on grilled cheese at Edwin’s establishment.”
For ten years Leni Haaring-Vreugdenhil (79) has taken care of the design and content of the Vreugdeschakel. Which is quite the feat, especially since she was solely responsible for it for six years! “It was very satisfying and fun work.” At the start of this year she quit. “My age was a good reason.”
Interview met Lianne.
“Very early on in my childhood I noticed a deep connection with animals and their feelings. Back then still subconsciously, but later on much more consciously. Although I intuitively knew I reacted differently in situations regarding animal cruelty, for a long time it wasn’t easy to ‘just’ talk about it and share it.
