The here and now and being positively present with my physical is all I have. After years of thinking about (sea) life and mulling over how bad things are with the oceans and reefs worldwide, I am now here in Bonaire to turn those thoughts into something super positive. Not thinking, but doing!
And so I recently left for Bonaire to save the coral reef. My sea heart bled and I just had to do something. The coral reefs around Bonaire have been suffering very badly for years. So last week I took the Reef Renewal course done. And wow, I learned and did so much. Staked and planted out healthy corals, cleaned the nurseries, learned a lot of theory…..and passed! And now I am officially “Padi Reef Renewal Diver”!
A desire that has become a reality and one that benefits us all. Because without healthy coral reefs, we are all screwed. Rolling up my sleeves and literally contributing my coral rock on Bonaire. It is desperately needed.
Learning new things, cutting corals and “outplanting” the strong new corals in hopes of saving Bonaire’s reefs. And it’s working. I’ve seen it. Beautiful patches of coral are growing back. But so much more needs to be done! And if we do nothing now we are really fucked. Then soon the reef around Bonaire will be completely gone.
Want to know more about Reef Renewal Foundation Bonaire? Read about it here! Super fun and interesting. And yes, I now volunteer for RRFB. With my head under the water trying to literally make the world a more beautiful place. For all of us now, but especially for generations to come.
Of course I am also just voicing!!!
Meanwhile, I have a good studio on Bonaire and deliver quickly, as you would expect from me, beautiful high-end audio suitable for TV, radio and online. These clients have already received beautiful voice-overs from here.
Because well, from volunteering I (and my family) unfortunately cannot live. So please book me! You won’t notice I’m here and the reefs and fish of Bonaire are very happy with the work we do. I’m here for you with a positive head and radiant aqua green heart. So book me especially! You won’t notice I’m here and Bonaire’s reefs and fish are very happy with the work we do. I’m here for you with a positive head and radiant aqua green heart. 😉
When will I go to Holland again? No idea. After all, my family is just in Haarlem, but as long as we can manage without each other, it’s okay. They understand that I have to do this mission and together we are stronger than ever.
Take care, x
