Jorrit

Country: The Netherlands
Task: Assistant Coach (technical issues and advice)
In the beginning of October 2004 Samuel contacted me by e-mail. The topic of the project was
established and he was looking for team members to help him to realize his ideas. He knew Omar
from Egypt because he met him during the awards ceremony of ThinkQuest Africa some months
earlier. They worked together before with good results so he joined the team. The other members
of this international team that joined later are Ajinkya from India, Ahmed from Egypt and
Omoniyi from Nigeria.
The members contributed to this project using their own individual strengths. All members have
good computer skills (most of them took part in ThinkQuest before), so my job was rather
limited. From time to time I was the main point of contact as communication between the members
was not always easy. In first instance the members communicated mainly by e-mail and MSN
Messenger, but later also using a forum that I provided.
Samuel is really concerned about the problems in his country and tries to do something about it.
Aids is a big problem in Nigeria as well as it's in other countries across the African continent.
Another problem those countries have to cope with is the food problem. Some months earlier Samuel
created a great multi-lingual website about that topic which is available on www.odofin.com. In
February 2005 he won a prize with that website in the Childnet Academy contest. He will attend
the Academy Week that is held during March in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
I treasure the work of this team. Both Samuel and Omoniyi live in Nigeria and the circumstances
there are not good for this kind of projects. Computer and internet usage is very limited and
there are many power outages. This is almost impossible to imagine for the western world in which
I live. Samuel doesn't have an internet connection at home so he uses a memory stick to take his
files to one of the few internet cafes in the region. Many online conversations using MSN
Messenger took place in that cafe too. Omar, Ajinkya,
Ahmed and Omoniyi: congratulations to you on this great project and I wish you good luck with
your future activities!
