Princess Laurentien's Work with Literacy and Learning


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Is there a video of her speaking there? Or any pictures?
 
I would love to see pictures of her speaking. Maybe some will be released in the next few days?

The same goes for Brooklyn (= Breukelen) and Harlem (= Haarlem).
 
Princess Laurentien was in Zeeland yesterday with minister Plasterk of Education (Labour). It seems the agencies missed it but luckily royalfanvivian was there and made some lovely photos (as usual) and she got a handshake of the princess too. Look at her website here.

PZC has one photo, look here. The man with the hat is the minister of Education.

Nice to see that the prime minister was there too, considering the important role the MKB has in society.
At first glance the MKB has next to nothing to do wih Laurentiens role with illiteracy I have moved the posts to the current event thread of Constantijn and Laurentien. The MKB stands for Midden & Klein Bedrijf Nederland, an organisation representing the smaller businesses. But the princess held a speech emphasizing the importance of litteracy in business :whistling:
 
Thank you for the information, Marengo. It is nice to see that Laurentiene was there to emphasize literacy in business (something that is very important, that we don't often think about). Laurentiene looked wonderful.

I enjoyed seeing the photos of Laurentien meeting the people at the event. You could tell simply by her facial expressions that she was honored to have been there. She truly seems like a very warm and caring person.
 
Just from the pictures and from what she is speaking, dare I say, I love Princess Laurentien.
