Ton in Memoriam, On 24 September 2012, Ton died at the age of 72. He always said that he was not as athletic as Otto, but in his lifetime he did enjoy marathons and mountain climbing. He loved technical details and liked to do computer programming by himself. He was also a great fan of photo-graphy and wanted to take excellent animal pictures just like Otto. Ton considered himself the “guilty part”, as far as the Milijuli Foundation was concerned, but “without Otto and Paul I would never have achieved that much”, he said. Whenever you read the word “I” or “myself” on this website, Ton is meant. As the one “mainly to blame”, he thought, he should do most of the work.

Ton wanted his ashes to be taken to Duble. His last wish is fulfilled in March 2013.

Otto is a sporty type, who enjoys taking pictures of birds and happens to be very good at it. You can see his pictures at Pbase http://pbase.com/otto1.Otto had made many treks in the Himalayas (Nepal and Tibet) in the Alps and Dolomites. Highlights were also the trips in Kenya and Papua.
Otto also finds time to work for the AV Weert athletics club.
Jan has been to Nepal several times with Ton and/or Anita, among other things to bring school supplies to Duble and to organize various projects for the foundation. He is interested in photography, Nepal and Thailand. Through Anita he came into contact with Ton and was appointed board member. After Ton’s death, Jan took over the position and activities of secretary.
Anita is Ton van der Kop’s niece. She is married to Jan Wullems, the secretary. She went on holiday with Ton and/or Jan several times to Nepal and to Duble to bring school supplies to the Jana Yoti school. She has the same passion for the country and people as Ton had. After Ton’s death, she took over part of his work by becoming treasurer.
