Louke
Helle is 64 years old. She ended up at the secretariat of the
Concertzender via the Amsterdam Vrijwilligerscentrale (a centre
for volunteers). She has been working at the Concertzender for
over
five years now. 
“My work is very diverse. I enter new CDs in the database and I check
if old CDs have been entered correctly. Especially
the number of tracks
with the correct times are important to
the broadcasts. After the
broad-
casts I put the used CDs back
to where they belong. We have
stored over 20,000 CDs. So each CD has to be put back in its
right place, otherwise we will never find it again.”
Folding
“For years I have taken care
of mailings to our benefactors, together with
colleagues, single-mindedly and without thinking, happily folding and
putting
letters into envelops. Luckily
such mailings bring in some
money for the Concertzender
and it is my job to place the money at the
right place with
the right benefactor in our database of friends.
I also welcome all new benefactors with a letter. Beside this all I do
the ordinary secretarial chores. And it goes without saying that I am
learning a lot about music!
I really love baroque music but thanks to
the Concertzender I am starting to appreciate lots of other music! I am
so glad I work at the Concertzender!
