Anna Hoogmoed nieuwe Master Onderwijskunde (MEd)

Happy New Year

Dear website visitor, I wish you a Happy, Healthy, and Successful 2023!!! Greetings from our new home in Almelo NoordOost, which is next to Mariaparochie (the header page faces this tiny village in the region Twente). The remarkable thing of the village Mariaparochie is that, despite the only 300 inhabitants, it partly belongs to the municipality of Almelo, and partly to the municipality of Tubbergen. Don’t know why yet. Will find it out. Warm regards.
