1) Op zoek naar en Homestay: Er is een jongedame uit Coevorden die me gevraagd heeft om via mijn contacten te onderzoeken of er een mogelijkheid bestaat om in Richmond/Vancouver haar stage te lopen. Ze studeert engels en moet daarvoor 10 weken naar een Engelstalig land. Hier moet zij dan meerdere taken/onderwerpen uitvoeren. Nu zoek ik voor haar onderdak. Het is voor een studente natuurlijk veel te kostbaar om gedurende deze periode in een hotel te gaan zitten. Haar stage op 23 februari moet beginnen. Ik hoop binnenkort van iemand te horen.

Sint Nicolaas Study:
My name is Fransien Bogers, and I am
currently working on my Master’s thesis at Mount Saint
Vincent University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The thesis
is titled, “The Saint Nicholas Day Ritual in the
Netherlands and Canada: A Qualitative Study of Dutch
Persons’ Perceptions and Practices”. This is a research
project for which I seek Dutch-Canadians who are
familiar with the Dutch Saint Nicholas Day celebrations
and who are willing to be interviewed about their
experiences and views as they pertain to this tradition.
I would much appreciate an opportunity to hear how you
feel about and experience this tradition, and as such I
would like to invite you to be interviewed. As I
currently reside in Nova Scotia, the interview would
take place over Skype (or a similar type of voice chat
software). It would take approximately one hour, but it
can also be shorter if you do not have much time. If you
think you may be interested in being interviewed about
the Saint Nicholas Day festivities and what they mean to
you, or if you would like more information about the
project, I would really like to hear from you. Please
feel free to contact me at
Fransien.Bogers@msvu.ca
or by phone at (902) 444-6173.

12) Looking for a Summer Job: My name is
Marjolein Vos. I am a 22 year old History student from
Groningen, the Netherlands. I expect to graduate college in
early July 2012. In September 2012 I will continue my
education in a Masters program at the University of
Groningen. During the summer of 2012 (July 15th - September

like a copy of my resume.

| 14) Interviews re Immigration: My name is Henri van Amerongen, I moved with my wife Debbie in 2007 to Vancouver Island. We lived in Nanaimo and we are recently moved to Parksville. I like the Dutch Network initiative! Because we live on the Island it’s hard to attend your events.. But it`s good for the `Dutchies` to stay connected with their roots. I work as a life Coach/Counsellor here on the Island and online with Dutch people. I also train Dutch people all over the world how to become a counsellor. I’m a specialist in family dynamics and immigration is a big `thing in people’s lives, I experienced it myself but it has also a big influence on the whole family for generations. I already worked here with several people from different cultures and countries and discovered that a lot of people are still connected with old immigration pain, even if they are second or third generation immigrants. Most of time you inherit more than you think from your parents. Canada is an immigration country and I believe that maybe a big percentage of our citizens have hidden issues what is connected with immigration. It`s really fascinating how family dynamics works. I want to make a study of this phenomenon and to want interview people of different countries, and of course also Dutch people. I think if people have a better understanding of this dynamic it will be easier to integrate here in Canada and have a better and happier life. I think that a lot of people move back to their home country because of hidden family issues. I hope to hear from you. Met hartelijke groet, Henri van Amerongen: info@dare2bu.ca, www.dare2bu.ca | ||
