Autorenporträt
Hallo, ich bin Auke und Mitglied von Skriuwer, einer globalen Gemeinschaft, die sich der Erstellung inspirierender und lehrreicher Bücher verschrieben hat. Dieses Projekt liegt mir besonders am Herzen, da es die friesische Sprache fördert, die mir sehr wichtig ist. Da ich tief in der friesischen Kultur verwurzelt bin, glaube ich, dass Sprache für die Bewahrung unserer Geschichte und Identität von entscheidender Bedeutung ist. Deshalb gehen alle Gewinne aus dem Buchverkauf an De Fryske Wrâld, eine gemeinnützige Organisation, die sich dafür einsetzt, dass die friesische Sprache lebendig bleibt und weiter gedeiht. Vielen Dank, dass Sie dazu beitragen, die Schönheit der friesischen Sprache zu bewahren. Lassen Sie uns gemeinsam dafür sorgen, dass sie lebendig bleibt!
