Ecumenical Center (1961-68) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, by Rietveld Van Dillen & Van Tricht. Both Gerrit Rietveld and Joan van Dillen died before the completion of the building.
This is what it looked like today, May 2022. I have walked past it hundreds of times and it still is a completely odd building. So I had to walk over just now and take a picture. Things have changed a bit.

Melaica Tuinfort is a 31 year old paralympic weightlifter who was born in Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname.
Melaica’s legs are very short and severely malformed due to a Congenital Longitudinal Central Reduction Defect. Because of this, she never had any muscle function below her knees and has been a wheelchair user her entire life.
When she was 15 years old, Melaica’s parents decided to move to The Netherlands with Melaica, her brother and her sister.
Melaica always had a great passion for athletics and she was particularly gifted in the sport of powerlifting. She often amazed people when they saw her lifting unbelievable amounts of weight and at a young age Melaica already knew that she wanted to make her sport out of this.
Melaica made her international debut in 2009 but it took some time for her to achieve the success she wanted. In 2014, Melaica won a bronze medal at the World Championships in Dubai. Her greatest achievement though was winning a bronze medal at the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016!
Unfortunately, Melaica hasn’t been selected for the Paralympic Games in Tokyo this year. She isn’t giving up on her paralympic dream though and now put herself to training for the 2024 Paralympics in Paris, France.
Melaica recently graduated in Tax Law and Economics at the University of Rotterdam and has had a part-time job at Wittepoel for years now. This is the specialized orthopaedic shoe company that designed the shoes Melaica wears during most competitions. In one of her blog posts, Melaica wrote that in the past several companies tried to design shoes for her. None of these ever really succeeded at this though because of the special shape of her feet. Wittepoel was the first to manage in designing comfortable and good looking shoes for Melaica and she is very happy with Wittepoel as employer and sponsor!
Besides her busy schedule, Melaica regularly visits Suriname and loves shopping, dining or going out with her friends.
