Een mooi voorbeeld van hoe je de wereld wat mooier kunt maken.
Agnes Kasparkova maakte van haar dorpje in de Tsjechische Republiek een soort van kunstgalerie. Met een kleine kwast en blauwe verf maakte ze van de witte eenvoudige panden prachtige kunstwerkjes. Ze heeft dit gedaan tot haar 94e. Ze is in 2022 overleden.

That school later became #SalemAcademy and #SalemCollege. Alumnae of those institutions re-created that journey in the fall of 2021, using a translation Salome’s travel journal, which she had written in German, and gathering in God’s Acre to honor her at the end.
