Lage Vuursche

After more than 3 years we are leaving de tolkresj. A kindergarten led by the parents. Every weekday morning two of the parents are taking care of each others children in this beautiful garden in the hart of Amsterdam. For more than 3 years (ones a week) I took care of those kids and I must say it’s a privilege to have done so. You get to know and connect with them and their parents.

To celebrate our time together and the 35 years of existence of the Tolkresj we organized a weekend at Lage Vuursche. It was fantastic to end our time and that of Otis (the blue jacket) here.

Cemetery / Playground

The day of arrival. Franz took GabeMac, me and “Der Mann aus dem Plattenladen” out to former East Berlin to see the match Australia vs Italy (see the video here).

Just 50 meters in the same street there was a cemetery that was used as a playground for kids. When we went by it was packed. The graves were not that old (50 years). I asked one of them if the bones were still there, she thought so. Would the dead mind having the new life enjoying running and playing above them?

Production

At the studio for the Tolkresj. Where my kids have a great time with other kids.

It’s a (half a)daycare totally run by the parents and with the parents. We are celebrating our 35 year excistence with an event for everybody who had ever been part of this great initiative.
