SPORT PROJECT - 14 - 21 APRIL 2009




Tormod and co arrived on Tuesday 14 April and left on 21 April. (Jay on the extreme right was also here as part of Rotary from Hawaii. He was exposed by Pauline to many communities and will concentrate on adopting a project /community for aid.)

I took them to Gamalakhe on Thursday 16, after we had visited eSayidi FETC head office in PS to introduce them to the vice rector, Casper de Koker, and Tilana. Dr Nzimande was not there.

Before going to the college in Gamalakhe, we went to visit Rev Dr KEM Mgojo. We went to his study where Tormod sketched the background of the twinning and the sports project. Dr Mgojo spoke of Sweden's kindness to him in the apartheid days and his involvement every year with
the Global School Journey delegates.

At the college, we met the campus manager, Mrs NE Mbhele and members of staff. Tormod, Carina and Alexander were very impressed with the Training Hotel and the other facilities on the campus. Pauline.


In addition, Tormod, Carina and Alex were taken to Ixopo and Umzinto by Sipho Kuzyawo to be exposed to soccer fields and a soccer match. Carina is a principal but is also a soccer coach . Alex is also a soccer coach, working with the youth in Oskarshamn. He lives in Stockholm.They had an intense programme and future planning is dependent on funding. g.k
