Dear all,
We, the members of The First Wehl Group (Winnipeg Residents), have finally accepted the responsibility to host the Holland Berghaus Annual Valentine’s Ball on February 14, 2009.
We wish to invite everyone to join us on this occasion.
The first thing we had done was to strike a working committee doing......
A “Gezellig” gathering was held during Norma Manangan’s second stop-over visit to Holland this year after a hectic working meeting with the Kenya Alliance Against Malaria in Nairobi, Kenya.

A group of Berghaus Ladies in Holland hosted a welcome party for Norma Manangan of Maryland, USA, who visited Holland last April 19, 2008 with her husband, Rodrigo and twin-daughters, Julia and Nilda.
In the early 60s, The Netherlands was recovering and rebuilding itself from the destructions of World War II. In many sectors of society there was a shortage of manpower. The country did not have enough medical personnel, construction workers, professionals in various fields.
They were once residents of The Netherlands in 1973 - 1976, employed by Berghaus BV for three years as contract workers in its coat factory in Amsterdam and Wehl in the Achter Hoek.

"Unlimited Stay in the Philippines"
ZORGVERZEKERING (Health Insurance) in the Netherlands
By Orquidia Valenzuela (member Grey Club Steering Committee)
Since the Grey Club started the campaign, it has contacted several zorgverzekering offices and agents. To this date, NO zorgverzekering can offer a medical insurance for an unlimited stay in the Philippines for a premium like that being charged here. They are offering a world-wide medical insurance at an exorbitant cost. The insurance agents in the Philippines have limited coverage. Additional coverage means high premium.
Some zorgverzekering allow a stay of 12 months outside the Netherlands in a non-EU country (like the Philippines). This 12-month stay is given to some business concerns / organizations / stiching (like the Katholieke Bond Vereniging (KBO). But, there are conditions imposed on the insured person: must be a resident of the Netherlands; has a bank account in the Netherlands; and must return on or before the 12-month period elapses.
If one is still working or if his/her insurance is still with the same office, check, if your zorgverzekering has 12-month medical coverage outside the EU.
If you are already in the AOW you can ask your zorgverzekering what stichting is connected with them that gives the 12-month medical coverage.
As reported earlier, KBO (open to 65+) is affiliated with ZilverenKruis/Achmea and its members get instead of 6 months, 12 months medical insurance coverage outside EU (like the Philippines). KBO has offices all over the The Netherlands and membership is about 15 euro/year for single.)
We are waiting for a few months more before the year ends if there are changes in the medical coverage of zorgverzekeringen in the Netherlands.
