I also maintain the World Water Day (22 March) site.
In November 2004 I went back to Bangladesh for a sabbatical leave, teaming up with our partner NGO Forum for Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation. On 1 June 2005 I came back after seven months. I spent three months in Bangladesh where I had difficulty with my visa. The government did not give me an extension, so I had to leave earlier than planned. Through Malaysia and Singapore I went to South Africa. There I teamed up with our partner The Mvula Trust for nearly three months. In the last month I interviewed with my friend Jabu Masondo many people in villages in North West province, Limpopo, KwaZulu Natal en Eastern Cape.
I wrote 32 travel blogs and loaded up 102 pictures. I also wrote stories for my work:
- Strong women of sanitation committee fight to extend services
- Using sanitation to promote local economic development in Ozwathini, KwaZulu-Natal
- Mvula: nurturing space and stepping stone
- Kakaze shows the way to developing the second economy.
Since 1972 I live in Amsterdam, in the very pleasant Rivierenbuurt, with nice newly constructed houses and squares.
