On behalf of the Government of our State and of the structures of our Sovereign Order, I have the honor and the pleasure of presenting to all our most sincere Greetings for the coming Season. In fact, in the disturbed and uncertain World of our days, during this period several religions celebrate important festivities and all of them are festivities of Peace and of Love such as:

– Dongzhi Festival in China that celebrates the arrival of the Winter, renders cult to the ancestors and is a festivity of the family;

– The Buddhist celebrate the Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava and also the Amitabha, the celestial Buddha “The Buddha of Immeasurable Life and Light” ;

– The Hindus Celebrate the Gita Jayanti a day that symbolizes the birth of Srimad Bhagavad-Gita the sacred text of the Hindu religion;

– The Juish religion celebrates the Chanukah of the year 6777, which is the celebration of the light over the darkness, the rededication of the Holy Temple, celebrated during 8 days with 8 candles;

– The Muslim celebrate the Eid al-Mawlid an-Nabawī, the Festival of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad;

– The Christian celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ

and the World in general also celebrates the arrival of the New Year of 2017, so, for the above said, we come to wish to all

Happy Diwali = Dipavali and a new year of 2073 very prosperous and full of Light

20-11-16 Femeraid What do you do from your heart?”

Concern KMFAP & Femeraid.

What do you do from your heart?”

From the demand acts Femraid Texel. Sunday initiator Nico Waerts (KM) organized an introductory meeting with specially invited people in his gym in Den Burg.Femraid Texel covers Femraid Netherlands, which in turn is part of the “Federation of Autonomous priories of the Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta (KMFAP).” This knighthood has branches all over the world and the approach is very different. KMFAP (and Femeraid) is a global organization that connects people and members and facilitate their humanitarian contributions, local or national. “The Texel role will therefore be very different in a country where humanitarian conditions are different. But on Texel is plenty to do. You can think of undertaking activities with the elderly, a” buddie “for a family or person because it just is not going so well, or helping a fugitive when filling out a form, “Nico Waerts said during the meeting.The strength lies, according to Waerts, in the network. Therefore, he tries to surround himself with people from all different fields, such as accounting, health care and youth work. The people he invited are enthusiastic about the plans. “Let’s say that everyone knows thirty people and those people know again thirty people. This creates a huge network”, said one of those present. “This really was an introductory meeting. Soon we come together for concrete plans,” Waerts explains. The gym owner already raised various charities in the past. He was among others involved in the launch of VIP Sports Foundation, the foundation around Larissa Klaassen. Because of his fame abroad, especially through the defense training, he was nominated as a knight of KMFAP. “A great honor, which also brings obligations. I am very happy doing this and don’t see it as an obligation. The people I’ve approached do this also on a voluntary basis.” More about Femraid is available at https://www.kmfap.nl/.

11-11-2016 news The anti-Human Trafficking NL

It is criminal to visit an area where terrorists are the boss.
Ard van der Steur Minister of Security and Justice Netherlands today wrote to government
that he is working on a legislative amendment above.
First studied by the minister or penalization does have utility.
This is shown the case. Therefore, this year changed the law, as the goverment proposal agrees.
Initially, the government saw no little sense in punishing people who go to Iraq or Syria.
But now it appears that it there only going to fight or train for jihad, they changed their minds.
The bill will ensure that returnees can not be addressed because of their terrorist intentions can not be proven.
Since 2012 260 Dutch left for the war zone in Iraq and Syria. 42 have died and 40 have returned to the Netherlands.
