IN MEMORIAM

Hetty Eisink Francke passed away last month. Dear Hans, on behalf of the board and members of the NAADV we offer our sincere condolences for your loss. She will be missed, please reach out if you need any help or assistance.

 
On September 26, Hetty Eisink Francke found her peace after a stroke and several days in the hospital. She gave me, Hendrik-Jan and Marcelle some time to bid her farewell.


Hetty was a most engaging and caring person. She carried with her the UN declaration of human rights. She was involved with UNICEF, UU UNO, taught refugees in Singapore and has reached tens of thousands of children with her "Composting in the Classroom" program.

Hetty's life story can be found on:

Please share your story.
We plan a celebration of her life, with laughs and tears, on November 10, details on the website.
