Monitor nr 5: the man from the sea


In one of our previous contributions below we presented the monitors of The Selhovian Tribe. One of them could not attend the Kick Off meeting in Cudillero. His name: Willem Ment den Heijer, together with Mr Smit teaching geography to T2A. Mr Den Heijer is a man of the sea, born and raised in Scheveningen, the ancient fishermen's port of The Hague. His ancestors were all fishermen and he himself spent many years at sea as well. He worked for Greenpeace, protected the whales and prevented the oceans from overfishing. He takes part in a huge network of international contacts and his pupils know that: quite frequently English speaking guest teachers from all over the world appear in his classroom, telling all about their country. And that is only one reason, why Mr Den Heijer is so popular among his students!!
