Buddies Fenne and Fleur

Buddies Fenne and Fleur Fleur and Fenne have been a Buddy couple since September. It was very exciting to meet each other, but we clicked right away. And they already know for sure: after Fenne's internship, they will remain each other's [Buddies]. Because I now have a buddy, I have a good feeling and I'm less lonely Without [Buddies] we wouldn't know each other Fenne and Fleur: 'We try to meet every week to do fun things. We have already had coffee in the city, shopped a bit and we went out for dinner at the Italian. We also cooked together a few times. We both love to tinker and color so we do that often. In between we text or facetime with each other.' Fleur: 'Because I now have a buddy, I have a good feeling and I am less lonely. I have a friend who is also lonely, she also wanted a buddy. I helped her find a buddy too, by putting her in touch with [Buddies].' Fenne: 'I really enjoy being a buddy. It is nice and cozy with Fleur. I also notice how happy and grateful she is and that makes it even more fun for me. I think [Buddies] is a really good program because it brings people together who wouldn't otherwise meet. This is how beautiful and new friendships can be formed.' I also notice how happy and grateful she is and that makes it even more fun for me Fleur teaches Fenne sign language Fleur and Fenne also learn a lot from each other. Fleur teaches Fenne sign language. Fleur: 'She can do it a bit already.' Fenne: 'I can already sign, but I still have a lot to learn. It is very nice to do this together. That way I get to know the deaf world a little bit.' And Fleur went to a yoga class with Fenne. 'It was so nice that Fleur wanted and dared to come along, she also did a great job!'
