TORMOD NESSET-LINKING PORT SHEPSTONE TO VARIOUS PROJECTS

TORMOD , A SLAVE. PARTICIPATING IN TIME TRAVEL, CAPE WINELANDS REGION, OCTOBER 2008.


Tormod Nesset, for years , may we say centuries, has never stopped surprising us. He has linked Port Shepstone to various international projects, from the 10 years of consistent, one to one empowerment programme, where many Swedes and South Africans were linked and developed " bonding" with their counterpart. HIV and Aids, Time Travel, Global School, Sport, Municipality Agreement and Triangle Democracy School Project were a direct result of this friendship. This cascaded to further spin - offs such as Lars Kagg Skolan with eSayidi FET, Soderhamn with Ugu District Municipality and so on. He continues to be in the forefront , finding new iniatives.

We are indeed very grateful and appreciative. Equally, in Port Shepstone, many reciprocated and remain consistent in promoting this twin relationship for the benefit of all South Afrians.
There are many others that continue to show the same degree of commitment. Bo Hellstrom is one and now Ebbe Westergren, not forgetting Sven Ake, Ingeborg, Thomas Norgren , Stefan Windh and others.
It is comforting to note that many of you were involved in ISAK and continue to show an interest in South Africa's development. We need the " outside" interest, especially in our new found, fragile democracy.
