are ... the first 3 words in Afrikaans, which I have learned here. The former is a maize porridge, eine typische Nationalspeise die man wahlweise mit Zucker und Zimt, Fleisch oder sonstigem kombiniert. Braai bedeutet Barbecue. Wie ich mitbekommen habe, lieben die Namibianer Fleisch. Und letzters heißt Camp.
Sonntag Mittag ging es also vom Buero aus mit dem Bus in das Khomas Hochland. Wie erwartet war die Lodge mitten im Nichts, ein paar Zelte, 3 Bambushuetten und in alle Richtungen Berge und Sträucher. Zuerst gab es eine ganze Menge Campregeln z.B. musste morgens und abends geduscht werden, die einzig erlaubte Sprache war Englisch wobei „stuff“ und „thing“ aus dem Wortschatz gestrichen werden sollte und alle Handys wurden eingesammelt. Nicht das man Empfang hatte, but yes you his cell phone as a toy or music player would "abuse" may. And then it started already with various Presentation games, but soon it became clear that among these young people the next presidential candidate was (at least it's been mentioned as a goal in life desöfteren). Most of the 14-17 year olds have to attend a scholarship to a private high school, many school representatives and Namibia may be represented at a climate conference in a month in Japan.
As at gave the following evening a campfire. This was necessary on the one hand, since it after sunset was incredibly cold, on the other hand, we used the gathering to discuss political and social problems, such as the high suicide rate among young people or a lack of political commitment. I was impressed that the young people has in some ways an incredibly skilled economic understanding, on the other hand, measured in our view, some very residues. But you come here with too quickly that the European perspective is not always the ultimate in terms of development aid sometimes destroyed more than to help contribute.
striking was that here is stereotyped totally happy, and I still Confused, I may decide whether the jokes aimed at the root, the region of origin or language. That was just too much Ovambo, Kavenge (ethnic groups), Ojivambo, Khoekhoe (languages), Oshikoto and Okavango (regions). An estimated 10 different languages could be spoken, if they'd let the kids.
The following 3 days the alarm clock rang 5. Who would have hot water, had to get up more to make a fire (which has been practiced, but only on the first day of the boys). 5:30 it started with Qigong (I have no idea but I think it's similar to yoga). There I was at sunrise in the middle of the African bushveld and pressed all negative energy through my toes from my body. . Somehow amusing
The day was organized on the firm: the role plays, case studies, debates and lectures to 4 successful Namibian entrepreneurs. The topics ranged from conflict management to influence opinion. The session on different leadership styles I was allowed to keep. Not so easy to use without a "thing" and "stuff". At least I was still "like".
Up to 3 times a half-hour Meal break, there were some example 22 to 21 clock easily passed the program, everything goes outside himself. The question which German youths participated in the 3.5 days could not talk. had used so it was not surprising that all participants (supervisors included) not so bad were you when the fun on Wednesday afternoon was over, after yet written any my mobile number and the last time the benefits of good German Nivea cream. Two youths were also very interested in all information about a study in Germany.
Clarah Rebecca and the two JA (Junior Achievement) employees who next country director Mrs. Cloete (German: our boss) as a supervisor with the camp were. With the two I've shared a room and despite the fatigue we had 3 pretty much every night of fun.
The last two days I worked on various reports for the newsletter sponsors (including Coca Cola and UNESCO) and the homepage as well as the mega detailed presentation to the camp for the JA file. Also, I could still create a Power Point presentation, which then is used for performances, meetings or sponsor events for use.
