My name is Jan. I'm a primaryschool teacher. I teach little children who are 7 or 8 years old. Although those children have to learn a lot, I especially try to let their selfesteem grow. So humour and praising the good things they do is essential to me.
Because my school is an Christian school, I've told stories from the Holy Bible for nearly 30 years. Telling stories is a great talent and passion of me. But also to discuss the meaning of those stories. I love it when those little children already have different views on what they belief or not. I learn them that they don't have to belief what the teacher beliefs.
Before the lessons start there is often reggae-music to be heard in the classroom. This music relaxes me. And being a teacher I want the older children of the school to learn the truth about slavery when they have lessons in history. They must know that Holland has a bloody history of being slavemasters. I hope this makes the children humble when they meet people of other races and beliefs.
Therefore, I'm building a website about reggaemusic in the Dutch language, that is to be found at www.rastareggae.nl
Greetings & peace to you all!

What is age? I love the child in me!
I am here to:
Grow in knowlegde, so my understanding of this world of Rastafarinism grows. Being raised in a Christian family I know the Biblical stories. And reading about Rastafarians I recognize a lot of it in the stories I know. But living that way must be a different story. It's interesting to read what people move in that organisation. Learning to respect different beliefs by understand what is moving people.
Favourite Artist(s):
Roots reggae is what I hear every day. E.g. Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Gregory Isaacs, The Abyssinians, The Itals, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Lucky Dube, The Gladiators, Nasio Fontaine, Toots & The Maytals etc etc
Who Inspired InI:
Inspiration comes from above. On earth it comes from my Queen, because she's heaven sent!
WORLD OF JAH IS CHANGING ADDRESSES! JOIN THE FUNDRAISER!
The WorldofJah.ning.com RastafarI website( WOJ) is on the OUT and UP! With upwards of five thousand members, the growth has been steadily Upward over the past year. With that growth a change of platform has presented itself for a positive move toward more opportunity for growth...
By December of 2009 WOJ is targeting a move on the worldwide web to another server- platform. The platform is 90 percent ready , but final tweaking is being done before the official switch over.
WOJ management has also grown into three categories which entails WOJEC, World of Jah Elders Council, WOJA, WorldofJah Administration and WOJ Management. Each group is going to compete and compliment in a massive FUNDRAISER towards the expense and fees associated with the technical aspects of the switchover to the new SOCIALGO platform in December 2009.
Each group is REACHING OUT to its member businesses such as Sound Systems, Merchandisers, Publications etc. as well as general population individuals as SPONSORS of this fundraiser. It is to be launched by October 15th officially on the WOJ Announcements and will be monitored as a pie-chart presentation among the three groups as the fundraiser progresses .
This promises to be a great opportunity to bring YOUR business, project or organization into the forefront of the WOJ limelight on that color chart as a green, gold or red sponsor. With a nominal Itribution, ones as individuals can too, make a meaningful difference in this drive toward the WOJ progressive curve. With the new move, the members will only be able to retain their profile personalization,pics and videos, if WOJ pays a fee of $250.00 for those rights. This is why we reach to YOU!

Ji Jan,
I can`t get to you Homepage, don`t know why. Besice that I received two albums from Max Romeo you might not have...so come online on msn so I can send them to you.
In hope to hear from you
Hi Jan,
know you have net heard from me for a while, but...surprise...surpise....here is a message. I wish you from the bottom of my heart a very good and happy new year.
Brother Jan, we are halfway across a world from each other and I learned we have something in common besides Jah's Love. A heart for the children because of our own childhoods. We make it better for the next generation by breaking those chains! Love & Respect!
Bless My Brother Jan! My heart is touched with the work you do. I love to see Brothers & Sisters working with the youths. They need all the love we can give them. Love and Inity! ~ Peace ~
Hi Jan,
I know that is has been a long time ago since we talked together, but I am not online on MSN to often at the moment.
But is is good to hear from you. I am very interested in the new Max Romeo Album, for shure. I will try to come online on MSN more often now again, so we can talk and share music together again.
Its wonderful to hear that you teach children about the Bible because as a parent although I know a few things of the Bible I find it hard to unlearn my 16 yr old all the negative she learned in life and teach her the positiveness of the bible. I do however find it easier to teach my two year old ;-) (we are both learning together)
