Since May 1981, she has been happily living in Beverwaard. Over all these years, she has committed herself to her neighborhood and district in various ways. For example, she organized a handicrafts club for women at the Focus, recently participated in the Neighborhood Guide, the Neighborhood Visits, and was active within the district of IJsselmonde and the neighborhood council.

Four years ago, she founded Meeting Point. This cozy women’s group meets every month at Playground de Stormpolder. On average, 15 to 20 women participate. Sometimes an important topic is central, and sometimes it’s mainly about socializing, for example during a bingo. She is also active as a neighborhood organizer. For example, she helps with the emergency plan for the neighborhood. On November 5th at 10:30 am, she is organizing a first aid workshop together with the Red Cross at Playground de Stormpolder, where everyone is welcome.

After 45 years, her feeling about Beverwaard is clear: “I have a great house, great neighborhood, and great neighbors.” According to her, many Beverwaard residents enjoy living in the district.
