‘n Ewige stryd

Dit gaan om oorlewing – ‘n stryd ouer as die berge! Van meet af aan moes die oermens swoeg en sweet om genoeg kos bymekaar te maak sodat hy nie van honger omkom nie. Erge klimaatsverandering het ook die toekoms van die mens bedreig en dit was so hittete of die mensdom soos ons dit ken, was ‘n paar duisend jaar gelede uitgewis. Gelukkig het dinge anders uitgewerk en kon ons voorsate die basis lê vir die moderne mens . . . maar moeder natuur betaal ‘n prys vir ons ontwikkeling. Lees meer hieroor op bladsy 2.
Wintertyd is sinoniem met verkouetyd en soos elke ander jaar gaan allerlei kieme en virusse hul onwelkome opwagting maak. Behoort jy jouself te laat inent teen verkoue en griep? Twee Australiese kenners verduidelik.

Het jy geweet dat quinoa die vrug is van ‘n proteïenryke kruieplant wat in die antieke tye as die “moedergraan” beskou was? Maak ons heerlike, gesonde groentesop hierdie winter. Jy kan ook ‘n gesonde smelt-in-die-mond-happie aanlyn bestel. Dis uniek!
Ons kuier op 30 Junie 2017 by Kalahari in Clarkson van 9.30 vm tot 11.30 vm en dit sal so lekker wees om jou ook daar te sien. Bespreek jou kaartjie so gou moontlik by www.merisemag.com.

Baie dankie dat ons by jou kon inloer.
Lekker lees, 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 . . .
