By now I am 4 years at work for OM in Zambia. First I came for 2 years and now I’m still here. Under “Who am I?” you can read what happened in those 4 years. Since a few weeks I am the leader of Sportslink Zambia. I never had the ambition to do this, but it is how it went. Over the last 4 years I have also found out that I do have some leadership capacities. And in order to be able to perform this role properly, I intend to do this for 2 years. I hope to give it to someone else after those 2 years.

This function means that I am responsible for sports under OM in Zambia. OM works in different places within Zambia and we as Sportslink are active in 5 different places throughout the country. I see my role meanly to help the people who work under me to a higher level by equipping them and distributing resources well. I will be involved in giving trainings and organizing other events. I am also responsible for the finances that are available for Sportslink in Zambia and report what happens with this money.

Within the OM world they use the word “catalyst” to indicate a function like mine. Someone who brings something that is already happening to a higher level. Practically means to go out for me and see how we can help the guys who work under me so that their influence can expand in the communities where they live. Even if there is someone who wants to get started with sports in a place where we don’t work, then I and the people I work with will see how we can help him/her.

Furthermore, I remain committed to the Ride 2 Transform in Malawi. I have been a leader for the past 3 years and it seems that the R2TM is still growing again in 2020.
