Our experiences during the sabbatical year
With the month of November, our volunteer work has come to an end. Well, mine, since Frank had already finished in October.

In return, you will now get the translations with the pictures that we … More Week 46. Cleaning poo. Again. It’s different though, this time
I got up today with the sensation that November had gone in a flash. As if October had been naturally followed by December…One day, I had still one month of volunteer work to do, and the next one, I was finished volunteering. Just like that.

Of er ook een onderzoeksstation komt, is nog maar de vraag, maar ze heeft weer haar stinkende best gedaan. Cristina en ik hebben … More Week 46. Poep opruimen. Alweer. Maar dit keer anders
The people at the JRC’s clinic asked Cristina if she would be interested in assisting there for a couple of days. She didn’t need much time to say ‘YES’. She started yesterday, and already today you can see her in a Facebook live video. … More Cristina on the JRC’s Facebook live channel
