CURRENT MISSION

To bring the world in our house/home

ABOUT ME

We're a family with 3 children: Amber °1999, Yolente °2001 and Silas °2004
Amber is very creative, interested in psychology and human sciences, and studied 2 months in Canada in 2015, what was quite an experience. Yolente knows a lot about music and movies, loves reading books and is interested in science. The youngest one is sporty-Silas, used to gym a lot, but is now addicted to athletics.
We're not the most serious family, humor is quite important and we are having a lot of fun...everyone is rather busy in our family, especially the children, who have a lot of activities. Bringing the world in our house, meeting people and cultures from all over the world must be fantastic, in this way we hope to give our children an openminded education. We have a special link with India, having many friends in Chennai, where we started a child home while we were students. www.care-india.be
we hope to welcome you !
We prefer families with children, this way it's a new experience for our own kids...

PHILOSOPHY

The best thing you can do in life, is to make the right choice
The second best thing you can do in life, is to make the wrong choice
The worst thing you can do in life, is to make no choice

And this we copied from the profile of another cs-member, but it's the perfect expression of our thoughts:

"Dance like nobody's watching;
love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody's listening;
live like it's heaven on earth."
- Mark Twain

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 1997, we started a home for streetchildren in Chennai, India - together with our Indian friend Sundar. It's amazing to see how these 48 children changed, and took all chances they were offered... They are fantastic ! We're proud of all of them, and for us, they are our own children.
