Citizenship reading Den Haag
3 December 2008

 

 

Archbishop Desmond Tutu talked about alot of touching subjects. Here is a summary of his spreech:

He said, everyone in this world is a member of the same family regardless of the colour of your skin. Some people think that God is a Christian but that is not so. God is for all people.
He went ahead  saying, the European union spends 2.5 dollar as subsidy for their cow while most people in Africa exist under 1 dollar per day.
The world leaders efforts to stop terrorism will not work until they stop implementing policies that make people desperate and inferior.
When the vice major mr. Baldewsingh asked him what hewould advise the Nederland people on these issues, he said there was nothing more annoying to the South Africans when someone from another country came to them to tell them what to do. 

Africa Life talked (among others) with the following people:

Archbishop Desmond Tutu. He was too tired and left the occasion before the end. It was a pity. He is 77 year old I heard and he needed his rest.
The mayor, mr. J.J van Aartsen. ‘What a gentleman he is and speaks good English’. He promised Africa Life to visit us early 2009 and asked me for my business card, which I gave him. He is almost one year in office next year. We hope we can get to know him better and to treat him to a delicious African party when it is time.
Mr. Rabin S. Baldewsingh. He is well known for his hard work for Den Haag and was invited to Edo international day on 13 Dec. 2008 in Den Haag.
Mrs. Tasoula of OCTAGON professionals. She has been to Kenia with a team of doctors who volunteered to bring free medicine and knowhow / skills to the people of Kenia, and will be doing so every six months.
Mr. Billy of THE HAGUE ON LINE.COM.  We talked about possible means to connect our people and inform them better.
Mrs. Van der Krogt of the police. She was a down to earth woman with dignity. She wanted to know why a lot of people from Africa living in Den Haag do not join the police force because that would be nice according to her.
