Judo for Peace

„The Judo for Peace Commission was present in Bujumbura for an inspection visit from March 20-27th, 2009.  The first person to arrive on site was our Project Manager, Nicolas Messner. Several days later, the President of the Commission, Jan Eirik Schiotz, arrived straight from Norway.

We made the most of these few days to conduct a complete inventory of our interventions in Burundi.  The programme was punctuated by numerous visits and just as many encounters, among which,some of the most important being an interview with the Burundian Minister of Youth and Sports, as well as a meeting with the Executive Secretary of the National Olympic Committee.
