"Solidarity is the tenderness of humanity" Borges

Hilde Lemey has a bachelor's degree in mathematics-physics-economics, which may not be the best choice ever. But with her enthusiasm, sportsmanship, perseverance, humor and interest in children, Hilde wrote a separate life story. The educational field at home and abroad is not unknown to Hilde, her agendas about garden activities and successful cooking evenings, lists of bicycle rides / nodes, excel sheets with an inventory of the books from her library, betray Hilde's versatile interests. Bicycle trips and foreign missions play a crucial role in the development of the Room of Wonder-Kalpak and the activities organized around the theme: Hat off… the World.

Her dream is to immerse a wider audience in the world of the ethnic hat and the many stories associated with it. A dream that is realized with the support of her friend Luc Hellinckx and thanks to daughter Liesbeth who was able to give a place to her mother's many escapades abroad at a young age.
