A group of children gathered at our place twice a week to learn more, to sing together and to play. From there the after-school project grew. I discovered that it was gratifying and great fun to teach. This added to the pleasantness of our stay. It grew and grew and our plans developed with it. Young teachers who felt that the formal way of teaching was not satisfactory to them, came by to ask whether they could help and learn.

Immediately putting theory into practice was my way of learning. When I lived in Amsterdam with Frank, I was working at a primary school in Jordaan for years, where I enjoyed teaching toddlers and after doing the application course I enjoyed teaching all groups.
