Living in The Netherlands the kids attend an International School. Part of their Educational course includes them doing 'Community and Service' hours. The boys were offered the opportunity to earn some CAS hours and act as Zwarte Piets assisting Sinterklaas at my husband's office. A great opportunity to have some fun, use their Dutch singing traditional songs and throwing pepernoten to the children as Sinterklaas arrives. (Please do not take offence - Zwarte Piet is black because he has to climb down the chimneys with presents for the children.)
Here are some pictures of the preparations and fun ...
After a long afternoon, 21st Century style Piets
As you can see the boys had a lot of fun with all the families and were very happy to have taken part in something so traditional. Bye for now, Ali.
