Now as promised you will hear the story of Thomas Gisela Scheider. On the first morning after our arrival we were introduced to Thomas from Cape Town, a very friendly black South African from the Cape region. Right from the start he said if we ever have the chance to come down to Cape Town we should give him a visit. After almost half an hour of adjusting the early morning hour, which we desperately needed after this terrible jetlag we had, Nikki called us for our weekly meeting. The Monday meeting is basically for reflexion and to discuss the upcoming events. By the way I take care of the coordination of the Street Soccer Project, where Rovers, scouts in the age of 18-25, get taught to be trainers and then each one of them is going to be the trainer of one of the 14 scout soccer teams at eight players a team. Over the year the will have soccer training combined with workshops on moral values, environment and HIV. Now back to Nikki, during our meeting we somehow said “well Thomas said…” and Nikki looked
really disoriented and asked us if we meant Simon the brother of Jan (Evers). Thereupon and absolutely confused she asked Jan (Evers) “Who is this Thomas?” and out of the corridor Lucky said “Hello! I am Thomas.” Lucky is one of our five fieldworkers and helps us out almost every day in the office. A fieldworker takes care of one scout district. That means there are five districts in Mpumalanga and those cover only a slight part of Mpumalanga. A bigger coverage is very difficult because of the long distances. Lucky has a really distinct humor as you might have noticed and he can be really convincing. He actually got Jan (Ekkert) to eat a chicken bone, because it is a custom here in South Africa.
