Zaid (9) saved coots from boys who threw it over

The Animal Ambulance Amsterdam and his mother are very proud of 9-year-old Zaid. The normally shy boy intervened when he saw a group of older boys throwing up two coots. "I did not like to see that, because animals also have a life," he says himself.
It was not the first time that Zaid called the animal ambulance, but it was the most exciting. Earlier he called once for a dog that had clearly lost its owner. And also once for an injured bird. But when he went to play football a few days ago, he saw that some boys were throwing two birds. Zaid knows the boys from the neighborhood, they are a little older than him. "I think there was an 11 and the others 10."
"They played with the birds, and then they threw them. Then they put them away for a while. Then I quickly picked them up and went home with them."
Zaid was especially very sad that others had hurt the animals. "He came in crying," says his mother. "He said we should call the animal ambulance."
The animals were dazed and probably had severe headaches, which prevented them from holding their heads up, explains an employee of the animal ambulance. They have been taken to the bird sanctuary, where they are well cared for. How they are doing now is not yet clear. But chances are, according to the animal ambulance, that they will make it. "They need good care, the right warmth, food and love. And they get it there."
Zaid and his mother are surprised by the large amount of positive reactions that Zaid is now getting, including on social media. "I thought it was normal what I did, but now I think it's special." Big compliment and respect for Zaid !!!

#Lief is a themed broadcast of Decennium Dick on Thursday evening March 4, 2021 ... Love is never sin, living without love is sin! That was one of the texts that was written down in chalk on the public road near the Mieras Church on Saturday. How can we find love again in Krimpen? How can we together ensure that peace is restored in our society? Where we can all live, work and live with pleasure? Living with pleasure is also one of the central points of the Youth Advisory Council of Krimpens-Belang. A group of 15 young people want to help local politicians with their ideas and will provide the Krimpens-Belang and thus actually the entire municipal council with input. Two members of the Youth Advisory Council were our guests tonight. Your browser does not support this audio player. You can download the file .

Municipalities support National Moluccan Monument

This year it will be 70 years ago that the 1st generation Moluccans were transferred to the Netherlands in 1951 with 12 ship transports. On command, about 4000 Moluccan KNIL soldiers and Navy men came to the Netherlands with their families (in total 12,500 persons). At the point of arrival of the 1st transport ship at the Lloydkade in Rotterdam, it is not yet possible to trace a historical event. The National Moluccan Monument Foundation (LMM) is committed to realizing a monument. The monument will be a tribute to this 1st generation Moluccans and their families and in recognition of the shared past. The monument can also serve to continue telling the story of the arrival of Moluccans in the Netherlands to current and future generations. For anyone interested in this history, the foundation wants to offer an opportunity to learn more. They believe that more knowledge of each other's past leads to more understanding. To realize a monument, the LMM foundation has entered into a p...

Literary Happy Hour

After Erik's Tip, writer Marjo de Vroed sits down to tell something about herself and of course about her second book. Marjo de Vroed (1965) has lived in South Holland all her life and was a teacher at a Jenaplan school. She is married and has three grown daughters. When they were little, she regularly made up stories for them, which she brought to life with their hugs. She has loved writing since childhood. It started from group 4 with stories in the school newspaper and eventually resulted in adulthood in writing musicals for group 8 of her own school. In between, she wrote notebooks full of short stories and rhymes. And now children's books . First, of course, we have an overview of the Mega Single Top-100 and the announcement of the new LOKSCHIJF. Afterwards Ellen Bommeljé will be a guest for the item “Happy with the Bieb aan de IJssel”. The book “The salt path” from 2018 by Raynor Winn is central to this. Around 5:30 PM we have Erik's Tip [YOUTUBE VIDEO BCqcgfE4R3...
