Dear ESV’er,
The coming year it will be my honour to be the treasurer in the XXXIInd board of the ESV.

The Amazon forest is the world’s biggest rainforest. It covers a large part of South-America, and hundreds of thousands of plant species and animal species inhabit the forest.

These are hard days for most of us. Many people are at home instead of at the university, and while we might be able to study, there are also people who are not able to work because of the Coronavirus.

Over the past few weeks, almost every person in the Netherlands has been at home. Because of the coronavirus, it has been decided that from now on all work for which it is possible will be done from home.

The past month the Corona virus has been in the news a lot. Ever since the beginning of the year when the virus was identified, it has spread rapidly from Wuhan to the rest of the world.

If you should name some of the biggest Dutch shops, that not only thrive domestically but also are doing well internationally, which one would you name? I would immediately think of a shop like Albert Heijn, but a recent report shows that another Dutch shop is also doing well: the Action.

Whether or not you like Donald Trump, he is an interesting figure who I would like to discuss in this opinion piece. As an individual Trump is both fascinating and horrifying to me: he seems delusional at times, which is surprising for a president of the United States, but at the same time the world is heavily impacted by his actions and it does not seem like he can be stopped.
