Challenging

On Saturday March 5th, Marco left Schiphol in Amsterdam for Harare in Zimbabwe to enjoy a training course by Foundations for Farming. This is a challenging time with the war in Ukraine going on. What will the world look like in 9 days?

It was also challenging a few weeks earlier when we received the results of our Covid PCR test on February 21th. It felt like waiting for the results of an exam. We were very happy that this result was negative. This allowed us to fly to the Netherlands the following day. Considering the age of Marjolein’s parents, we think a year is a long time to be out of sight. In this way we can make the most of our time in the Netherlands.

We are happy we had only some mild effects of Corona, like having a cold. That was also the reason that we didn’t take a test in the first place. We planned to fly back to the city February 9 and meant pay a visit to Apetina to see the test garden together with the two visiting board members of Foundations for Farming the Netherlands . When Marjolein had a sore throat that same morning we thought it wise to be on the safe side and get a Covid test. At the clinic of the Medical Mission it soon turned out that three of the four of us tested positive, this meant the trip to Apetina was cancelled. MAF was willing to fly us to the city. The three of us then stayed in quarantine for 10 days. Number four flew to the Netherlands the next day. So, the training for Foundations for Farming ended a little differently than expected.

Marjolein will spend a few days with her parents next week in a cottage in the east of the country. This is a very special occasion. We usually have a long weekend with our children and grandchildren. This time it will be a midweek with her parents. We know that we are so privileged !

Monday March 21, we hope to fly to Suriname again.
