An ode to Grandma Hetty, who returned to the Netherlands, to Zuidoost, at the age of 50. For a long time we feared you would lose your connection to Surinam.

But here in Zuidoost you found that and much more. Your world expanded in Kraaiennest, you lived with people from all over the world, different colors and smells.

When I think of Southeast, I think of you.

Then I think of love, warmth, hope and change, then I think of new beginnings.
In short, Zuidoost and its women are symbols of love.
