https://nova.com.na/nova-pm/ You want a friend, a friend that’s not perfect. A friend that sees the lighter side of life (perhaps weirder side) and takes your attention away from your own issues for a while. A friend who manages to make you see your issues differently. Perhaps making you realize that your issues aren’t that different at all (we ALL have issues)!

Food insecurity and challenging living conditions remain a daily struggle for many.
In response to this need, a mobile soup kitchen was launched in April this year. Three mornings a week, Johan and his bicycle (pulling a trailer filled with warm soup, bread and cups) follow routes commonly used by diggers. His goal is to bring a nutritious meal directly to people who often do not have reliable access to food or cooking facilities.
The initiative is the result of a partnership between several organisations and businesses. Cars and Guides for Hire cc in Swakopmund started the project and provide the equipment, bread and support for the driver. The soup is funded by the German NGO Pallium while Foodlovers prepare the soup at cost and donate the cups. Johan and Project Dignity oversee and coordinate the distribution process.
At present the soup kitchen reaches about a 100 people three times a week. While the demand for assistance remains much greater than the resources available, those involved say the impact is already visible.
Anyone interested in supporting the initiative can Johan Kruger from Project Dignity on 081 492 5262. ]]> Music Commentary Fri, 12 Jun 2026 15:25:00 +0200 0 0 Nova Cares - Project Restoring Dignity and Christian Integrity 0 0 Karlien Kruger full 10:15 Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova https://iono.fm/e/1685116 https://iono.fm/e/1685116 Someone can genuinely like you... and still not choose you.

Karlien spoke to Elizabeth Jonas who is the principal of CHAIN and they discussed all the services that they offer to the children as well as the needs they have to continue doing their brilliant work.
A short summary of their history: In 1992 three mothers with Down's Syndrome children founded the Down's Support group in Swakopmund to establish a parent-to-parent "help-line". From their own experience it was clear to them that parents with special needs children need a lot of support, both for themselves and for their children. Although initially it catered for children with Down's Syndrome it was extended to include all special needs children. ]]> Music Commentary Fri, 17 Apr 2026 13:20:00 +0200 0 0 Nova Cares Friday - CHAIN 0 0 Karlien Kruger full 8:47 Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova https://iono.fm/e/1667055 https://iono.fm/e/1667055 Listen here to find out the top 10 signs. ]]> Music Commentary Fri, 17 Apr 2026 11:20:00 +0200 0 0 Top 10 Signs You're in Love With Potential 0 0 Karlien Kruger full 1:23 Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova https://iono.fm/e/1666656 https://iono.fm/e/1666656 Music Commentary Thu, 16 Apr 2026 10:38:00 +0200 0 0 Top 10 Signs You’re Falling for the Right Person 0 0 Karlien Kruger full 1:31 Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova https://iono.fm/e/1666273 https://iono.fm/e/1666273 Music Commentary Wed, 15 Apr 2026 13:23:00 +0200 0 0 Considering Adoption? 0 0 Karlien Kruger full 11:46 Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova https://iono.fm/e/1666173 https://iono.fm/e/1666173 Is how you show up in your relationships.

The respect you show in conversations.
The way you handle stress together.

When emotions run high, people often stop listening and start defending themselves.
And those moments can leave lasting damage if they happen too often.
Healthy relationships don’t mean couples never disagree.

Between work, responsibilities, and busy schedules, couples can easily slip into routine and forget to prioritise time together.
A date night doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive.

It lives in the small daily choices.

It’s speaking well about your partner when they’re not in the room.
It’s protecting something they shared in a vulnerable moment.
It’s backing them up when it would be easier not to.

But disrespect also grows in small moments.

Sarcasm.
Dismissive comments.
Talking negatively about your partner to others.

On their own they may seem small… but over time they accumulate.

Healthy relationships aren’t built on grand gestures alone.

It shows up in being comfortable with silence, feeling safe to share something vulnerable without it being judged or fixed, and knowing the other person actually pays attention to the small things. You can have disagreements without the whole connection falling apart, and you don’t feel like you have to keep score or walk on eggshells.

At the end of the day, emotional intimacy feels easy. You can breathe. You don’t have to perform. The relationship feels more like home than something you’re constantly trying to get right. ]]> Music Commentary Thu, 05 Feb 2026 11:20:00 +0200 0 0 Real Emotional Intimacy 0 0 Karlien Kruger full 3:58 Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova https://iono.fm/e/1642448 https://iono.fm/e/1642448 Music Commentary Wed, 04 Feb 2026 13:11:00 +0200 0 0 Op Pad Met My Potjie Seisoen 2 0 0 Karlien Kruger full 4:25 Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova https://iono.fm/e/1642421 https://iono.fm/e/1642421 Music Commentary Wed, 04 Feb 2026 11:22:00 +0200 0 0 Being Safe on Dates 0 0 Karlien Kruger full 3:09 Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova https://iono.fm/e/1641605 https://iono.fm/e/1641605 Music Commentary Mon, 02 Feb 2026 13:19:00 +0200 0 0 Green Flags 0 0 Karlien Kruger full 4:54 Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova https://iono.fm/e/1641602 https://iono.fm/e/1641602 Karlien goes across borders into the male brain with conversations with real guys going into emotions with funny moments and serious topics all thrown together.

Soft love isn’t dramatic.
It’s not toxic, chaotic, or full of games.
It’s steady. Warm. Safe.
It’s two adults choosing peace over drama.
It’s conversations instead of assumptions.
It’s honesty instead of manipulation.
It’s comfort — but with effort.
When you’re younger, you want excitement.
When you’re older, you realize:
Excitement is great…
But peace?
Peace is priceless. ]]> Music Commentary Fri, 21 Nov 2025 13:23:00 +0200 0 0 The Beauty of Soft Love 0 0 Karlien Kruger full 8:52 Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova https://iono.fm/e/1619884 https://iono.fm/e/1619884 Here are some tips to stay connected to your partner. ]]> Music Commentary Wed, 19 Nov 2025 14:24:00 +0200 0 0 Keeping the Spark Alive 0 0 Karlien Kruger full 13:08 Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova https://iono.fm/e/1619427 https://iono.fm/e/1619427 Music Commentary Tue, 18 Nov 2025 13:55:00 +0200 0 0 Red Flags to Look Out for When Dating 0 0 Karlien Kruger full 11:34 Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova https://iono.fm/e/1618999 https://iono.fm/e/1618999 Music Commentary Mon, 17 Nov 2025 14:05:00 +0200 0 0 Dating is Exhausting! 0 0 Karlien Kruger full 22:36 Nova 1035 - Karlien on Nova https://iono.fm/e/1618374 https://iono.fm/e/1618374
