take care of each other here in Muizen? 00:00:27.793 --> 00:00:32.926 How affordable are care homes? 00:00:48.878 --> 00:00:51.814 How do we take care of each other in Muizen? 00:00:52.546 --> 00:00:54.167 Who takes care of whom? 00:00:55.772 --> 00:01:01.887 How do we organize welfare for each other in a society where individuality is prioritized? 00:01:02.921 --> 00:01:05.837 Is the elderly care center affordable? 00:01:06.395 --> 00:01:08.524 Is there a need for a service center? 00:01:36.209 --> 00:01:40.009 our squares and public buildings are continuously cleaned 00:01:40.949 --> 00:01:42.291 by Omar and so many people 00:01:42.922 --> 00:01:44.288 sometimes we forget about that 00:01:44.837 --> 00:01:46.135 and it is taken for granted 00:01:46.135 --> 00:01:48.828 that the village hall is clean and tidy 00:01:49.726 --> 00:01:52.203 but it is actually a lot of work 00:01:52.649 --> 00:01:55.926 and there are many people who often with a high workload 00:01:55.989 --> 00:01:57.969 are cleaning those places 00:02:19.962 --> 00:02:23.083 three days a week Nicole 00:02:23.351 --> 00:02:25.532 opens the cafetaria as a volunteer 00:02:25.536 --> 00:02:27.845 of nursing home De Muze 00:02:28.918 --> 00:02:30.777 if volunteers like Nicole 00:02:30.777 --> 00:02:31.973 were not there 00:02:31.973 --> 00:02:34.645 it would be impossible for the cafetaria to be open 00:02:34.645 --> 00:02:36.077 seven by seven 00:02:36.988 --> 00:02:38.610 everything happens with a lot of laughter 00:02:38.610 --> 00:02:40.648 and sometimes with some tears 00:02:41.247 --> 00:02:43.768 she also strives for mor money for health care 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:45.689 because with an ordinary pension 00:02:46.130 --> 00:02:49.446 you cannot pay the rent in an nursing home 00:02:49.656 --> 00:02:51.849 and that certainly shouldn't be allowed 00:03:25.811 --> 00:03:28.568 Philipina Merten or Pina 00:03:28.778 --> 00:03:30.497 was born in Muizen 00:03:30.643 --> 00:03:32.993 last century in 1916 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.251 she was a pioneer for the social struggle 00:03:36.563 --> 00:03:39.144 there wasn't even the right to vote for women yet 00:03:39.608 --> 00:03:44.168 she was one of the first to think in larger structures 00:03:44.436 --> 00:03:49.025 until her eighties she was the driving force of the socialist party 00:03:49.025 --> 00:03:50.648 and the women's movement 00:03:51.181 --> 00:03:54.461 and also part of the youth movement De Rode Valken 00:03:54.841 --> 00:03:57.247 Pina made a very large pot of soup 00:03:57.452 --> 00:03:59.837 and scooped out the soup with a ladle 00:04:00.198 --> 00:04:02.699 for the children whom lived in poverty 00:04:02.810 --> 00:04:05.410 hence the reference to her earrings 00:04:24.241 --> 00:04:26.585 Lily grew up in West-Flanders 00:04:26.699 --> 00:04:28.541 but has lived here for many years 00:04:29.301 --> 00:04:33.240 every morning at 9 a.m. she leaves her home 00:04:33.588 --> 00:04:35.685 to open the door of the church 00:04:37.182 --> 00:04:40.333 and the key from the Rerum is also in her pockets 00:04:41.435 --> 00:04:43.134 she's very often on the road 00:04:43.312 --> 00:04:45.096 working from early till late 00:04:45.757 --> 00:04:48.058 when you say she does a lot 00:04:48.486 --> 00:04:50.081 that's actually too little 00:04:51.496 --> 00:04:53.166 we wonder 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.248 who is going to do all that work in the future 00:05:30.780 --> 00:05:33.332 every morning and every afternoon 00:05:33.332 --> 00:05:37.487 you'll find Jean-Marie at the beginnen of Peter Benoitstreet 00:05:38.505 --> 00:05:40.567 wearing a fluorescent jacket 00:05:40.687 --> 00:05:42.092 and in all weathers 00:05:42.165 --> 00:05:44.999 he makes sure that all the schoolchildren 00:05:45.819 --> 00:05:48.069 including parents and grandparents 00:05:48.069 --> 00:05:50.286 can cross the street safely 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:52.498 not only this 00:05:52.776 --> 00:05:54.255 but also, together with Ingrid 00:05:54.266 --> 00:05:56.515 he's very active in organizing things 00:05:57.336 --> 00:06:00.284 such as flea markets and bingo evenings 00:06:00.456 --> 00:06:02.647 under the name Muizen Nodigt Uit 00:06:03.479 --> 00:06:08.317 all things to bring people closer together 00:06:10.296 --> 00:06:13.279 "if there is anything, just call me" he says 00:06:32.413 --> 00:06:34.750 Fons De Cock and a few others 00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:40.722 was the founder and inspirer of Red Cross Muizen in 1972 00:06:41.251 --> 00:06:43.922 he was always busy helping people 00:06:44.408 --> 00:06:47.011 working together was his motto 00:06:47.568 --> 00:06:50.247 once on his own responsibility 00:06:50.428 --> 00:06:54.133 he took home someone who had been in an institution for 40 years 00:06:54.772 --> 00:06:57.245 he died in 1999 00:06:57.460 --> 00:07:00.125 and by the Charlemagne festivities in 2000 00:07:00.463 --> 00:07:03.647 he was chosen by the people of Muizen as a giant 00:07:24.802 --> 00:07:25.901 be assured 00:07:26.510 --> 00:07:27.982 that syringe you see there 00:07:27.982 --> 00:07:29.935 has nothing to do with corona 00:07:29.935 --> 00:07:31.867 or a new campaign against vaccinations 00:07:32.865 --> 00:07:37.771 it's just about the nursing home Muizen, De Muze, excuse me 00:07:38.630 --> 00:07:43.932 and Deborah has been making the ward for people with dementia for 5 years as teamleader 00:07:44.835 --> 00:07:47.132 when there's not enough people she jumps in 00:07:47.659 --> 00:07:49.493 and every morning she comes in 00:07:49.912 --> 00:07:52.395 and first she checks with the team if everything is going well 00:07:52.941 --> 00:07:55.662 then she drinks the inevitable cup of coffee 00:08:14.581 --> 00:08:18.539

00:08:26.367 it is also a meeting place 00:08:27.002 --> 00:08:30.208 Hilde is also fascinated by archeology 00:08:30.449 --> 00:08:34.086 she has an impressive collection of clay pipes 00:08:34.808 --> 00:08:37.955 and she collected several folders filled with information 00:08:38.461 --> 00:08:40.538 about the history of Muizen 00:08:41.365 --> 00:08:45.473 she is always ready to shere her

00:10:49.283 where passers-by were welcome 00:10:50.316 --> 00:10:53.050 though the nuns of Muizen weren't rich 00:10:53.351 --> 00:10:56.798 00:10:57.137 --> 00:10:59.326 00:11:00.004 -->
