Hello there dear readers, be welcomed to this short WegWijzer. De missing theme of this week can be read in between the lines in a non-figurative way.   Monday we don’t organise anything, though it is recommended to go to bed in time and get enough sleep.   Because on Tuesday 8pm the 24 hour run will commence! Last year we supported the Run For Specials team, this year NFK makes a comeback together with all the Letterenkringen, Katechetika and the Pedagogische Kring, together called the ‘Underdogs’!

On Monday, there’s nothing to do except for going to your classes. If this lack of activities leaves you with a gaping sense of emptiness, you can always inform yourself about the safety- and environmental prescriptions with regards to making fire.  Better safe than sorry! Speaking of the importance of fire safety, did you know the deadliest fire in the history of mankind is either the fire of the Iglesia de la Compana de Jesus in Santiago, Chile from 8 december 1863 with casualties between 2000 and 3000 people or the fire of the Salang mountain pass, which happened on 3 december 1982 in the Hindu Kush mountains […]
