"Aiming to add life to the days that remain, when no more days can be added to life"

In 1992, the RO(tterdam) PA(ris) RUN was born. And it came about as the result of a bet! In that first year, 13 teams took part and together they managed to raise 100,000 Dutch Guilders (45,000 Euros). The organisation of the event was in the hands of a small group of volunteers. In fact, the intention was for a one-off event, but that was not to be the case.

The first time was such a success that a follow up was inevitable. For the first four years the event remained relatively small, and was organised on a purely voluntary basis. However, as the event grew, there was a need for an office with paid staff - even though everything had to be done low budget. There are currently 250 volunteers working for the Roparun Foundation, with an additional permanent group of 50 volunteers, who are constantly busy dedicating time and energy to the planning and organisation of this event.

De Tegelkunst, exclusive wall and floor tiles

Are you intending to buy new wall or floor tiles soon? Then De Tegelkunst (tile art) on Javastraat is a good place to start. This recently opened shop has an extensive collection of original tiles for floors and walls in every style and size. Mr. Teulings the owner has been in the tiling business for more than 45 years.

 

In the attractively lit shop with fireplace, Teulings, his son Bas or Marike de Vos, from Cera Color on the corner with Surinamestraat that closed in November 2008, provide expert advice and can offer a complete package: a wide choice of tiles and craftsman from the family business to skilfully lay the tiles. Teulings specializes in the import, sale and installation of traditionally made tiles in various styles from 19th century and Art Nouveau to rustic or Mediterranean.

 

Much of the range is produced by small businesses in southern Europe and is handmade, although Dutch products, also handmade, are available like the well-known Fries Witje and Gouda tiles. Tiles to your own design to celebrate special occasions like the birth of a child or to create a tile picture are also possible.

To complete the service, De Tegelskunst does restoration, repair and maintenance work too.

 

For an impression of what is on offer visit www.detegelkunst.nl.

De Tegelkunst is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10.30 till 17.30, but from the beginning of March will also be open on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Madurodammertje: a new local product


On Wednesday 27 January 2010 Bankastraat’s cheesemonger Zuivelland and Madurodam rolled out a new farmhouse cheese called Madurodammertje. The first cheese ripe from the farm was officially presented to innovator Annelies Ende and Mayor of Madurodam Friso Wesseling in The Hague’s major tourist attraction Madurodam.
Madurodammertje is a semi-matured cheese that weighs about 500 grammes. Only milk produced in Zuid-Holland is used, which makes Madurodammertje a truly regional product. This diminutive cheese will be on sale at the minature city of Madurodam from the start of the tourist season in April.

Bakkerij J.C. van Kempen on Bankastraat

20 August 2009 – After a radical renovation of the premises at 93 Bankastraat, Baker C.J. van Kempen & Sons is all set to sell their bread and pastries. Grandfather van Kempen was born and bred in Malakkastraat.  

            

The third generation of this family of bakers is returning to the Archipel after an absence of 83 years. Two grandsons prepare the products through the night in another district of The Hague and a granddaughter takes care of the sales in Bankastraat. In a secluded corner of the shop, customers can discuss their requirements for very special cakes for those very special occasions: weddings, birthdays, etc. because van Kempen is also a specialist cake baker. Enjoy!

Zoetwaterparadijs, pet supply shop in Javastraat

A pet supply shop called Zoetwaterparadijs opened In Javastraat in mid-July 2009. The name no longer covers the range of products on sale because during their first week owners Chris and Ria Gerritsen were confronted with locals who had virtually no interest in tropical fish (hence the name), but did want things for their dogs, cats, rodents and birds. They did not

stock any of those things and decided there and then to remedy this. You can now find almost anything you will need for whatever your pet.

Tropical fish

You’ll be struck by all the large aquariums containing tropical fish, freshwater shrimps and crabs when entering the shop. “It actually began as a hobby but eventually became my work”, says Chris Gerritsen, who

has been interested in aquariums and tropical fish since his youth. Up until now sales were done over the Internet. Because business was doing so well, it was decided to open a shop so the fish could be seen as well as purchased. The fact that there was such a demand for other products surprised them both.

You’ll find everything for small pets in the shop: from baskets, collars and toys to birdcages and let’s not forget the aquariums. And of course there are the usual tins of dog and cat food, grit for litter trays and food for fish, birds and rodents.

Zoetwaterparadijs is located at 271a Javastraat, close to the Dierendokter, and is open Tuesday to Saturday from 09.00-18.00 and Mondays 13.00 - 18.00.
