The ladies talk about dreams. About Conny’s wish for world peace, Miek’s wish for more respect for each other. And about that of Safa, who has just been in the Netherlands for a year and a half, the country in which she would like to become a dentist. The three ladies are sitting at a table in front of TivoliVredenburg. ‘bakkies’ are handed out on the assembly line. Safa has a ‘full head’, she says. A bit too busy, that is, Conny translates. A hand on Safa’s shoulder, and Conny says: “You try so hard, you will become a dentist one day. Trust me.”
Refugee Safa (19) makes ‘bakkies’ of coffee with Utrechters: ‘Only then do I get to know this country well’
