Most of her recent news are for JustineForKids charity events, so let us see what our golden heart Justine had worked hard for:
Taken from JFK facebook and Danielle explained that JustineForKids had given the sick children the dream to go Lapland with a meeting with Santa Claus thanks to the donations from the kind hearted ppl. You can see the excitement from the kids :D
And here from lavenir.net, we can get the photos and the video of Justine celebrating St Nicolas:
Below is the translation of the article by Danielle:
For the children in Belgium the party of St Nicholas' Day is a big event, the children receive candies and toys. This party gives us the opportunity to see a magnificent gallery of Justine's photos (28) with the children and St Nicholas. Photos are visible with the French-speaking text, besides Justine's video which explains her commitment and that of " Justine for Kids " with the aim of giving a little of enjoyment to the children in distress.

For once, Justine Henin was not the only one to catch the eyes it on Tuesday afternoon. In the middle of welcome " The small Drums " to Lasne, the old children from 3 to 36 months, their brothers and the sisters, had eyes only for Saint Nicolas, come distribute them presents taken out quite straight ahead of the basket of the ex-champion of tennis. With her association Justine for Kids, her works in particular at the children in situation of handicap.

"
In this middle of welcome not as the others, all the children are not different and it is what makes its wealth. " It is the said structure of inclusion that is that welcomes, from the youngest age, expanding children of a handicap (1/3) and others (2/3), explains Catherine Stalas, president of the ASBL Hélios, to the initiative of the Small Drums. This contact enriches them mutually. The day-nursery was born when my daughter, Joanna, was 5 years old. I learnt that she was trisomic three days after her birth. I had to make something positive. I wanted to set up this structure which facilitates the everyday life of the parents and assures them the most normal possible life. "
In this day-nursery of 18 places based in the building of the "Essentiel", the place of welcome for the disabled people, the different children can benefit of numerous care the everyday life (logopédie, physio, psychologist) and of the stimulation to optimize their development and their potential. " We hope we can offer to them of avatage thanks to our annual evening of support which will take place on December 6th at 7:00 pm to the cardinal middle school Cardial Mercier in Braine-l'Alleud. "

Justine Henin's humor
Published on September 29th, 2014 by Jacques Mercier
At that time, my radio program " The Game of Dictionaries " received all the known personalities. We so had the honor to welcome Justine Henin.
We had put back several times the recording date, because of course her schedule is overloaded. And then finally we fix Thursday evening and her ex, Pierre-Yves, confirms us that they will come although it arrives.
What took place of extraordinary, it is that previous Sunday, wins for the first time finale of Roland-Garros and is great dedicated star!
You imagine the excitement for Thursday following in the Library of La Louvière where we recorded. Not only a public everywhere, in corridors, outside, but the local and national press, the TVs, the JT(TV news) had sent themself their correspondents.
Motorcyclists of the police had escorted their car since the highway up to the back of the room, where we waited for her.
Nice, but not wanting to grant no other interview: she was for our broadcasts there, that's all! I remind her the progress of the " Infernal Week " and the " Game of Dictionaries " and we get ready to rise on stage. In the meantime, Pascale, the manager of the library obviously asked me full of things: it would be necessary to announce this, to announce that.
And finally I rise on stage and I begin to present all the members of the team under particularly fed applauses. An overheated atmosphere. And finally, I end by saying: " and here is the world champion on hard-packed surface, etc. Ladies and Gentlemen, here is … Pascale Henin! " In the excitement of moment, the pressure of cameras, flashes of the photographers, now it was the first name from the librarian who had come to me to the mouth …
Everybody laughed, some people believed that I had done it express.
I am a little bit red with shame and bored face to face by Justine Henin, our guest. I ask her some traditional questions and then I ask her, what always intrigued me by looking at these matches, if when anybody of the public shouts before that she serves the ball, it does not disturb her?
She answers me: " not really, Jacques, only when somebody shouts " Pascale! " Instead of Justine. "
She has a sense of humor!
With all these, I end my long post, forgives me for not updating this blog for long. I ain't forgotten about Ju, just trying to find time and my hardworking self back. Nice to see Ju being active in charities especially her own JFK projects. And Ju really has that motherly and feminine look now ;) In any case, I love all her looks, be it the professional business woman look, the focused and determined suave looking on court Ju or the motherly Ju, she's still the best idol I ever had!
And I'll see you all again next year 2015, I'm gg on a holiday to experience some snow in 한국. Will be my first time experiencing snow since I grew up in a place where there's only the boring rain or shine. Hope I don't become ice over there. Cya then!
