Bas Vreugdenhil of cafe ‘t Peerdt had wanted to slow down. He’s worked in the hospitality industry for over fifty years, but successive lockdowns saw his retirement get pushed away further and further. “We were finally doing well again,” he says. “But now we have to close earlier and check QR-codes while only a small percentage of infections can be traced back to our industry.” He’s lost all ideas on how to continue.
Anita Vreugdenhil, pediatrician at the Maastricht University Medical Center+, says: “It is time for an OMT (Outbreak Management Team) for children.” Anita has been researching children’s lifestyles since the start of the pandemic. Over 66% of children who were already bordering on obese, became even more so during the pandemic with an average of five kilos. “Some even gained ten kilos.” That’s why she’s advocating for a more centralized approach with a children’s OMT.
For ten years Leni Haaring-Vreugdenhil (79) has taken care of the design and content of the Vreugdeschakel. Which is quite the feat, especially since she was solely responsible for it for six years! “It was very satisfying and fun work.” At the start of this year she quit. “My age was a good reason.”

Bas en Geertje Vreugdenhil,
On my website kunsthobby.nl I want to show everyone that you can grown in your hobby. Painting is something you can learn! Before I started painting I didn’t have a clue about any of it and only started to gain some knowledge and experience during a course in watercolours. It is fun and relaxing to create something new. Plus it is very important to just have fun.
In 2019, researcher Jennifer Vreugdenhil started the project ‘European Turtle Doves in a Changed Landscape’, in coordination with Het Zeeuws Landschap and assisted by subsidy provided by the Nationale Postcode Loterij. Jennifer’s research targets characterisation of locations where European turtle doves look for food.
‘I would like to know’ Is a permanent part of the jubliee EO-radio program The Musical Fruit Bowl. One of the recognizable voices in this pastoral question section is rev. Gerrit Vreugdenhil of the Sint-Janskerk in Gouda. “In such a building you feel more of God’s majesty and of faith through the ages.”
