And how are we feeling today?

This morning I got up feeling great. My toothache is a bit less after having starting with my anti-biotic treatement a few days ago. I have slept very well and I can hear the cats mourn for attention. As sleepy as I am I got out of bed and went to the bathroom for the usual morning-routine. But something is different…

After reading the (online) newspaper and having watched the 7 o’clock news on the tv, I was ready to go to work. I looked into my agenda and saw that my first meeting starts at 10 o’clock. Nice time to be starting on Friday, the last day of the week! But still I had the feeling something was quite different…

Now it’s almost half past eleven and I am back at the office in Hilversum. Still not knowing what the feeling is that I have. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I am almost 30 years old… maybe the fact that one of my major projects is almost at its end… maybe the fact that next Sunday I am finally going to play golf… maybe the fact that my toothache is less present in my head… or maybe the fact that I have a present a clear mind and rest in my head…maybe the fact that I am who I am…

Their future starts Before7

Next to doing some great stuff for Yellowtail I’m doing the best thing ever in my professional carreer. As you might know, I’ve been to Indonesia to help a volunteer organisation called Yayasan Persatuan Kalibaru for a period of three months. Once you’ve done such a thing it is impossible to let go. The blood flows where it does, you might say. So, with my colleagues of Yellowtail, we’ve raised a new organisation called Before7.

The aim of our organisation is to help children in the age before 7 (sounds familiar ) into getting a better chance on live, education and more …

Why Before7
Research shows that every child who goes to school before reaching the age of 7 has a better chance on a succesfull life. But this is not up to the children, because they want to go to school. Regarding the fact that there are schools, books, teachers and more …

Before7 raises money for a better chance for those children to go to school in poor and hard-to-reach areas in the world. We do this by receiving donations from everyone who is willing to, and who sees the cause we are fighting for. For just 48 euro per year, a child can go to school. This means a small amount of 4 euro per kid! This money raised goes directly to the local projects. Read more about this on our website: www.before7.nl

  

The first, the last??

I’m on a roll when it comes to writing in other ones blogs. So it made me think about writing my own. But what is so special about me to be writing about. Or even so, to read about (by you).

When introducing myself I found out that everything works out fine right now. I do have a house and a nice job. I do have the best girlfriend ever and two pets. What else do I wish for?

For now, I do not know. But maybe in the (near) future there will be something special to write about. Maybe you have some questions for me which I would love to answer.

Tjauw,

M

Oh yeah, about me .. this is me …
