SKIN-Rotterdam has a number of faithful volunteers who help us in our activities and assist the people from the international churches. Our oldest volunteer Dirk Korpershoek of 90 years, has unfortunately left us.
Dirk has been a language volunteer at SKIN-Rotterdam for 10 years. In those 10 years he has taught people from many different countries like Colombia, Nigeria and Eritrea the Dutch language. Dirk is very loved by his ‘students’. Besides his knowledge of the Dutch language, he likes to share the love of God with his fellow man.
Jane Martie-Chatlein of SKIN-Rotterdam visited him with pastries, a bunch of flowers and a gift to thank him for the wonderful work he has done. Dirk returned all the language books to Jane, asking her to pass it on to other language volunteers who can use it for their language lessons.
SKIN-Rotterdam could use more volunteers. Do you also feel like becoming a volunteer at SKIN-Rotterdam? Feel free to contact us and together we will see what suits you best. You can call or email Jane Martie-Chatlein at 06-19009348 or jane@skinrotterdam.nl.
