Balingua Team: Monique

Without Monique, nobody would survive at Balingua: she’s the one who takes care of meals and drinks… and of spirit! Wife of René, she’s sharing his experiences since more than 40 years. She lived in Africa before him, while giving her time to children of the Congo to help them improve their first education.

During the CERAN decades, she was in charge of the students’ well being, besides being herself a teacher in the very first years. She was the main hostess of all the language departments, creating the CERAN Life for all the students.

After they retired from CERAN, she decided to make the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, in Spain: she completed her dream in June 2006, after a five week walk which was the last part of the pilgrimage, the Spanish part. The Belgian and French parts having been her holidays during the previous years. She’s now thinking of re-doing the pilgrimage!

With René, they also now share their common passion for playing golf and tasting wine!

Monique loves taking care of people around her: all her guests will confirm! Her husband, her children and grand children, the Balingua team included…
