Refugee workshop

Last weekend, The team leader in Innsbruck and myself, took 11 African refugees to an integration festival nearby in Reutte. The Africans played special African drum and dance music while Werner and I offered a workshop on the theme of refugees. If you can read German, here is an article about the festival with our photo. We are together with Peter Biber, another IT worker who helped to organize the festival.

Tessa's athetic test

In order to fulfill the law, Tessa has to pass tests in all the subjects at the local school. She has been working hard to study for and pass these tests. For her phys ed test, they told her she should come to their "sports day". What we didn't know was that the sports day was really a track and field meet for the top athletes in the school, and the school has a special focus on sports!

Sports are not Tessa's first love. She had to take part in all the events which included the 60 meter dash, running long jump, shot put and the 2000 meter run. Here she is lined up at the back of the pack for the 2000 meter start. Go Tessa!
