Then we have more news:
- On the 15th of October we visit a jubilee from 4 colloquies from early times at Océ. Their names are Hay Merkx, Leon van den Broek, Wim Knaapen and Jos Janssen. Jos is the one who took care of a website for us in 2000. In that time we travelled for one year. He is the one who knows our complete story and also how our project started. And the end of the jubilee as we want to go home, they give us an envelope for the project. We didn’t expect a gift. Thanks a lot.

Terima Kasih!!. Also the extra donation pot they have in the restaurant, keeps bringing amount in for us.

It were some hard weeks lately. Marijke was also seeing a dokter. Ze even went to hospital for a catheterization. The biggest fear was that we could leave for Lombok. But end’s well, all’s well. It seemed that here heart is still doing very well and we can go without a problem.
