Sport is why I am. It is what I stand for.<\/div>\n
Monique Mosi <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The German sport club, Dynamo Windrad in Kassel, has been Swiftresponse\u2019s international partner for the past few years. Its project manager, Helen Sch\u00f6nbrodt, has been in Uitenhage to experience how these life values are being implemented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe support from Dynamo Windrad is amazing. The best of all is that they value what Swiftresponse invests in the community through soccer,\u201d said Ade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor us to have two of our soccer players being invited to an international tournament is absolutely wonderful. I mean, it is to Germany, the number one soccer playing country in the world!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schadeii Abrahams, like Monique, is a tutor with a passion for education and sport. She joined Swiftresponse since its first street soccer tournament in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBack then we used bricks as goal posts and as training obstacles. Now, thanks to partners like Galaxy Bingo and the input of Dynamo Windrad, we have professional training equipment,\u201d said Schadeii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am looking forward to learn from our international partners and to implement it in Uitenhage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat is especially of interest to me is that they involve disabled persons in sport. It seems impossible, but they succeed in it. So, I want to learn from them and start a similar project in our community,\u201d said Schadeii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both women not only play soccer, they also coach and officiate in this sport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A total of 30 teams from various countries will participate in the Frauen Bolz soccer tournament and the Uitenhage women will play for the Dynamo Windrad team. Games are played on a small pitch and without a referee as it all is about fair play and having fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tournament coincide with the Fifa Women\u2019s World Cup which is being held in France from June 7th to July 7th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are hoping that more luck might come our way, as it will be a once in a lifetime experience to attend the ultimate soccer event, the World Cup!\u201d said Schadeii. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
