Selbst in der deutschen Sprache machte er gute Fortschritte und konnte sich immer besser mit uns in Deutsch unterhalten. Um seine Deutschkenntnisse zu...vervollkommnen, bestand er sogar darauf, dass wir nur deutsch mit ihm sprachen.Wie in Namibia, so war er auch hier für die Kinder so eine Art großer Bruder und der liebste Spielkamerad sowieso.
