My work

Now for all of you who thought “Hey, he’s just doing vacation there!”- No!, I am not. All previous activities took place in the first 2-3 weeks after my arrival and happened on the weekend and/or after working time. Since my normal working day is not so fascinating and picturesque for the most of you, I have been deriving you from that part of my stay. Every Monday we have our Monday meeting with Nikki, Jan and myself. Jörg has been joining us for a short time now and with him our Monday became the Nangu Thina day, which is intended to be exclusively for needs concerning Nangu Thina e.V. For this weekend we had to copy, punch and staple and copy, punch and staple many training booklets for the introduction course, in which future scout leaders are developed. In addition we had to prepare everything for the weekend kitchen utensils, plates, cutlery, every material needed, as for example three diverse colored scarves each for a group of eight, name tags and and and. Some of those things we had to get out of the big containers (some of them still have labels form the GDR on them) that are secured with huge locks. Along the way we attended the DESD conference “Decade of Education for Sustainable Development”. The three main topics were water, waste and greening. Needless to say, that the Scouts were represented on all three topics. My main project is still street soccer and bears the beautiful name Pumelela – “we want to Succeed!” More on that as soon as I have the time. The remaining pictures are from God’s window, Blyde River Canyon and from the introduction course on the school ground in Manzini.
