Mr. Hank Bronner

The other day I met the most enthusiastic person in Rundu! I had been told about him, but I didnt know what he was doing and I only thought he was a school PE teacher, and not even at one of the schools I am working with or his relationship with SCORE. so I kind of put it of to see him. I kind of regret that now. He would have kept me occupied during the school break when I was bored!

This man is a PE and geography teacher at one of the schools in Rundu. He has been involved with SCORE is on the board if it is still functioning... When I came to see him he said he had heard about me. Hm... word travels in Rundu! He took me to the pool at the school. This is also the only pool in Rundu (except for that one lodge). The pool is in terrible condition. It is just disgusting and has not been in use for a couple of years. But he was like "Babes, in a couple of weeks we will have this running!" It will be generation money and providing swimming lessons for the children (last week on of the children from that school drowned in the river) and so on. He himself has put in pipes for the water, and is taking averything in his hands!

Later in this day he picked me up and and took me to his hockey practice where he coaches about 70 children, 4 teams (2 different age groups, girls and boys) at the same time. There is another coach but she usually shows up a an hour or so late because she is working or something (?). In addition to this he is responsible and coaches all the sports teams in his school. He is a volleyball fan at heart.

I dont know what keeps this man going or where he gets the energy. It might be the 6-8 liters of coka cola he drinks in a day or maybe the sigaretts or maybe a combo.

All he wants is to keep the children off the streets, and for them to grow up in a safe anvironment. That is why he is so excited about SCORE and we are so excited about him :)
