Are doctors and nurses in Holland
walking on wooden shoes too? Isn't it very loud in the hospital?.
Greet's is answering this question:
"Nowadays people aren't wearing wooden shoes anymore. We use them only as decoration,
we put flowers and plants in them. But when I was a little girl almost everyone in my
village was waIking on wooden shoes. They clappered very nicely and you could hear someone
coming when he or she was still far away. Bye from Greet in Holland."
Why are the children in Africa still wearing leather legbraces - synthetic ones are much
cooler when it is hot wheather. I know, because I have a synthetic one.
Mr. Fons in Amsterdam - Greet's bracemaker, is
answering this question:
"In some area's of Africa children have synthetic legbraces too. But not everywhere,
because leather braces are handmade - they can be made of the materials in the region. For
synthetic legbraces one needs a special oven & electricity, that's sometimes difficult
to organise. A very good question, I hope I have given the right answer. Bye from mister
Fons in Amsterdam."
