Merise Afrikaans - May/June 2017

في هذه القضية

Suid-Afrikaners oor die hele wêreld heen, het onlangs gewys dat Afrika altyd ’n plekkie in ons harte sal hê toe daar oral spontaan gebedsgroepe gestig is om saam met die evangelis, Angus Buchan, vir dié land te bid. Op 4 Junie hou SAMVOA ‘n kranslegging by die South African War Memorial in Perth vir Suid-Afrikaanse soldate wat gesneuwel het. In September word Afrikaans behoorlik gevier met die Afrikaans is Lekker-konserte. Wat ‘n voorreg om ons herkoms só aan die groot klok te kan hang!

As jy nog nie jou volgende vakansie beplan het nie, is nou die tyd om dit te doen. Daar is ‘n pragtige plekkie wat jy gerus kan gaan besoek.

Die sleutel tot ‘n gesonde liggaamsmassa is nie so eenvoudig nie. ‘n Kundige vertel meer.

Bederf jou huisgesin met eg Franse kookkuns! Merise wys jou hoe.

Is daar ‘n vertrek of hoekie in jou huis wat ‘n bietjie aandag moet kry? Kry nuttige wenke daaroor op ShowMax.

Baie dankie dat ons by jou kon inloer!
Mooi bly tot volgende keer,
Suzette

Merise Afrikaans Magazine Description:

Merise is a digital family magazine and was started in 2011 to inform, encourage and assist each other as we together face the challenges of settling and integrating into our new community. We talk openly about the different aspects of our lives that take strain through the migration process – from helping our kids to adjust to their new schools to leaving parents behind in another country and changes in the dynamics of our personal relationships.
We provide valuable information about financial and visa matters, inviting specialists to write articles about topics which would be beneficial to our readers. Merise writes about the beauty of our new country by featuring different geographical areas in Australia and New Zealand, thereby giving would-be migrants or readers who are planning holidays or moving interstate a better understanding about what to expect in their new place of residence.
Merise is a new friend to you and your whole family.
The ascending aircraft is symbolic of her desire to reach for the stars. Even her name is symbolic. By dividing the word in two, you get “me rise”, accentuating her desire to make improvements to herself and her life.
It is important for Merise to support her friends, not just newcomers, but all expats in Australia and New Zealand who left their homeland to find new means of livelihood “Down Under”.
Merise lends a hand in almost every way. She’s been through the immigration process and experienced it all first hand. She is thoroughly aware of difficulties that may arise for both newcomers and experienced expats and knows how to overcome, or should we say “survive”, these difficulties.
Merise is vivacious and enthusiastic and lives her life in her new country to the full. She loves exploring and is always on the lookout for new challenges and new experiences. At the same time she enjoys sharing her experiences with her friends, always encouraging and inspiring them.
Merise is fully bilingual and she has English- as well as Afrikaans-speaking friends. She divides her time equally between the two groups of friends and shares the same information with both groups.
You will have to go quite far to find a friend as special as Merise . . .
