Monday , 11 May 2009

At 7.00am we were fetched by Laila and Stig Persson, an old twinning friend. Kalmer, approx 80km from Oskarshamn south. We were reunited with the entire delegation from the 3 countries. It was exciting to meet those , from the museum that someof us had an opportunity of previous acquaintance , including Helen. Ebbe presented the programme and outlined the weeks activities. There was a tour of the museum. We were handed our costumes for the next days Time Travel Activity.

Above: Marlon from Nicarangua as jovial and positive as always.

The presentation at Oskarshamn was at 6pm. It was a rush , drive back to Oskarshamn after the days event. John and Stefan from Uganda were compasssionateand supportive.


The presentation, it would appear was well received by the Commune and many Twinning friends were present. We proceeded to have dinner with the officials of Oskarshamn and friends. We were presented with gifts and headed back to our accomodation in Oland - at Kakelstugn at 11PM by Bo Hellstrom - a friend indeed to Port Shepstone.


N.B. Bo and Laila for is thanked for caring and in ensuring that Gulshera received her chronic medication. Bo had taken over the responsibility from Tormod in assisting Gulshera to secure a temporary passport. This is the unique relationship in twinning - supportive, understanding and caring , a deep committment to one another.
