About Me:
I have the privilige to work in the Constellation Support Team. Besides that I am Marlou. Born in the Netherlands 42 years ago, now having my home in France together with Raymond and our four children. Most of all I enjoy the days where the worlds of 'work' and 'life' meet.
My dream:
A Constellation of people and communities making this world a bright place to be. Starting from my own little stars at home.
My concern:
I am truly convinced that here is where the start for Life competence is: in our homes, with our every day community. If we are able to live peacefully together and allow every-one to be happy and valued in our own house, we can reach out from there. It is not easy! But there is more hope then concern.
I'm proud of:
My friends in so many places of the world, all working towards the same goal - all in our own context and from our own strength.
What I think of Community Life Competence:
Let's Strive for It!

What do I want to do to spread Community Life Competence?
I want to apply SALT in my own life (S: Stimulate; Support; A: Appreciate; L: Listen; Learn; Link; T: Transfer; Team), I want to share my experience on my blog in Ning

Posting below on behalf of Ian Campbell and his facilitation team members in Odessa - Ukraine. After a SALT visit, the team followed up on an invitation to bring a visit at the house of the people they met. They left enriched. Enjoy the reading!

Pendant ma visite à Samara, Laurence m'a demandé d'interviewer un des amis russes comme 'Membre du mois' pour notre newsletter de la Constellation. J'ai choisi d'écrire sur Alexei, une personne hors du commun. L'histoire ci-dessous est le résultat de plusieurs conversations pendant la semaine et ses contributions pendant les visites SALT.

During my visit to Samara Laurence asked me to interview one of the Russian friends as ‘member of the month’ for our Constellation Newsletter. I chose to follow Alexei, he is a special person. The story below is the result of various conversations during the week and his contributions during the SALT visits.

Digesting all my learning from a week in Samara, a beautiful Russian city at the Wolga, it appears to me, now clearer then ever, that SALT is a natural process. It reminds us to be ‘normal’, to be the human beings we are in all our interactions.

Natasya, in her wheelchair during our last (in a series of 6) SALT visits that week says it beautifully:

“These meetings with your team once again proved that it is not important how we look, what language we speak, what confession we are…

“I only regret one thing”, says the young Elena, “and that is that I did not dare to let my tears flow”. During the After Action Review on this mornings SALT visit to a Roman Catholic Community in Samara (Russia) I see a new Elena. After this SALT visit she is full of energy and sees a new way forward for herself and the people around her.

Dear Marlou

Around March 2009,at the room 234 of general hospital of NTB. There was a house wife, whom her first husband heritage her HIV. Her husband passed away caused by tuberculosis infection opportunistic (it could seem the trigger is HIV). She lived in the countryside; it took 10 hours ride by car to reach her village. She worked as the farmer for some else rice field. Her first husband was a migrant worker (in Malaysia as coconut plantation keeper). In her second married, she started having frequent illness. She detected had HIV. Her second husband is staying negative up to now. She got the treatment for IO and also had the ART. When she had better condition she went back to her home village. On May 2009 I met her again in the same room, she told me that her husband prohibited her to consume ARV. Her husband thought, that ARV gave her wife another diseases (the fact that was only light side effect). They are both uneducated and low knowledge of heath and hygienic life and also part of poverty. Half an hour before, she released her last breath. She apologized to me because she broke her promised to keep the adherent in her days. She also gave me a question about her child future. She passed away right before my eyes. And my tears flew when I heard the cried of her mother( the only person whom took care of her while she was as hospitalized) and her seven years old son( also accompanied his mother and grand mother in hospital). That situation inspire me to empower PLHIV.
