Report
Like a good Sinterklaas, our Sinterklaas (Gunther) also had some delay. But eventually he came along with his Zwarte Piet (Isabelle). The tension was to be cut with the children. But when they both came in, the joy was all around. Zwarte Piet scattered sweets all over the place to the children, while Sinterklaas greeted the children as an accomplished candidate pope.
One by one they were called forward and Sinterklaas read from his thick and dusty book. It will surprise you, but all children were behaved well and they all got a present that they were allowed to open together afterwards. They also received ginger cookies from Zwarte Piet and mandarines. Zwarte Piet was obviously very happy and danced all around the room. Then the big gift was still to come: a Play Station 4 for the benefit of OLO. Needless to say that all children were wonderfully happy. But one of the people present had to go in the bag of Sinterklaas as you will notice on the last picture. Whoever that is, remains strictly among us ...
Afterwards we went with the group to eat a bit in the Pastorie in Brasschaat. Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet had 'forgotten' to change clothes, and had a lot of success in the tavern because several people wanted to take a photo with them. For Sinterklaas it was a bit more difficult to eat, but after verifying that all good children had left the tavern and had already been home for a long time, he was able to get rid of his beard and miter and it went much easier. Needless to say that this also caused the necessary hillarity.
Thank you dear Sint Gunter, thank you Zwarte Isabelle, for the wonderful rendition that the young people of OLO have enjoyed tremendously.
