Die agt sye van geluk.

We are all guilty…

With my eyes I can see people smile, laugh, notice their sadness and their suffering. With my eyes I can learn, be a witness. With my eyes I experience the world around me. Only when I use my hands do I become part of someones life, can I make a difference. Only with the use [...]
