Before the start of the world champion ship in dresden there is a school competion of 186 schools each representing a country. Our school LichtigfeldSchule in Frankfurt, Germany was choosen by a lottery to represent South Africa. There will be 5 tournaments to choose the final group of teams competing in Dresden 2008!
Last weekend we participated in one of the five competitions. And we were lucky to win that tournament . So my team will represent your country at the final tournament in Dresden. All playing kids are from the same school and from grade 1-5!
When is your team coming to Germany?
Maybe they will stop over in Frankfurt? We have the largest airport in Germany. Maybe we could meet.
Best regards
looking forward to hear from youGerhard Greif

We all have our own strengths and weaknesses, confidences and fears. It is not important for us to be carbon-copied images of one another in order for us to be successful. What is important is that we are willing to build on our positive traits, and we are willing to work to overcome our negative traits.
