Het ‘Oranje-gevoel’

Jaarlijks stuurt Rotary ruim 100 jonge ‘Oranje-ambassadeurs’ in alle windrichtingen over de wereld. Afgelopen weken genoten wij van de 23 special Ambassadeurs tijdens het W.K. voetbal in Zuid Afrika. Zowel uit Johannesburg, Durblin als Kaapstad ontvingen wij emails van onze counterparts die ons een hart onder de riem staken.

Hier een impressie in woord en beeld van de ontvangen mails uit Zuid Afrika, Brazilië en Argentinië

Mijn counterpart uit Kaapstad / Cape Town Colin Jacobs en familie ‘switchten’ als supporter, toen Bafana Bafana was uitgeschakeld, naar het Nederlandse kamp (of is het toch het Braziliaanse!?)

Morning to the Hollanders,

Hello My Rotary Friends,

The attached photo's were taken on Sunday and show my family and I dressed for the Football World Cup .

As you can see we are a confused bunch, with some wearing "Holland" clothing and earmuffs (a popular choice with the noise of the vuvuzelas), England, Brazil and South African items too. There is more in our home and on our motor cars but for these purposes this was more than enough. Vuvuzelas were banned from the photographs!

I am on the right with the minature umbrella on my head, Maree' (my wife) is with the earmuffs, Holly (my daughter) is with the Holland track top and Farrell (my son) has the Holland scarf.

We are thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere in the country at present and my Rotary Club assisted in entertaining 370 Australian football supporters last Friday evening...wow!

Keep well and fond regards,
colin

CONGRATULATION FRIEND,

You won!

And won deserving because your team plaid better them us.

Another important thing, at Holland Jersey I saw a Brazilian and Netherland flag together, that’s the meaning.

It’s very polite to do that, and your tram plaid very well.

Dear Theo,

Now we have a big trouble.

Brazil X Holland in 1 hour in South Africa.

Let’s start our vuvuzela (African horne).

See you my friend!
