Ny dojo i Kabul
Shafiq Eqrar
I år som i fjor har Judo for fred (JFF) bygget dojo i Kabul. JFF sin prosjektkoordinator, Shafiq Eqrar, har stått for design og gjennomføringen av (kanskje verdens første) container-dojo!
Dojoen er bygget i distrikt 7 i Kabul og er i sin helhet finansiert av Norad.

"I dette området bor det flyktninger fra forskjellige provinser, de har forskjellige etnisiteter og forskjellige språk, og det er mange konflikter mellom dem på grunn av krigen", forteller Shafiq. "Målet vårt er å få barn fra alle de forskjellige grupperingene til å leke og terne judo sammen, under samme tak. Vi håper at vi kan bidra til å øke forståelsen mellom de ulike grupperingene gjennom barna. Kanskje barnas familier også kan komme sammen siden barna deres driver med samme sport. Jeg ønsker å vise at judo kan brukes til noe mer, jeg vil at folk her skal få lære om demokrati, toleranse, teamwork og å stole på hverandre".
Shafiq har skrevet en rapport fra byggingen som er verdt verd å lese. Det er en hilsen til oss alle fra en ekte idealist.
Report about new dojo
Why the new dojo club in 7 districts:
As we know during the war many people did immigrate from different Afghanistan province to Kabul capital. The new dojo is located in one of the large places which money poor people come from different Afghanistan area with different language. As a target group what we have to show them is. Sport can bring different people from different nationality together for enjoying and fun.
The step 1: the first steep was the installation of the cantiner in ground. After long discussion with the local people and explanation to them which why we have to build the judo club and what will be affective of this club between young generation was starting step!
The step 2: as a program plan the metal guy did start has work to build the roof of the room first. Because it was running and snowing in Kabul and roof covering did prepare to us to work in floor and wall of the dojo.
The step 3: after that we did start our metal work in wall and inside of the dojo. Unfortunately we wasn’t able to start the carpenter work and metal work in same time. Because it was the activity of metal guy to build the roof and wall for carpenter. Than the carpenter guy did start his work to cover the dojo by Lacaney wood. (lacaney wood board is one of the best board which is antagonist damp and cold weather).
The step 4: the next step was to make the wood form in wall for damp material which is special material to use in wall and roof to cover the dojo. By this material the child will be safety in cold and worm weather. The material as we did use was as following: 2cm wood for form, 2 cm weather climate material and the last skin was the lacaney wood which was 124cm X 244 cm. by this material we did product a safety area for child.
The step 5: why to use this material in wall and roof: because as we know the Kabul weather become so cold during the winter and so worm in summer. And this material is just only thing to keep the inside weather in same degree.
The step 6: the 6 step was to insert the material inside from wood which was installed in basically step.
How the processes of carpenter selection were: in starting of the work I did meet different company who was from different country to do this job. But their offer was so high to pay as a fee to do this work. They are reach people who investing in Afghanistan from other country. So money of them has contract with USA and ISAF to build room and etc.
Than we did decide why not use the local people capacity who are so poor and they don’t have ability to work in some project. They are expertly people who return back from IRAN and Pakistan.
By this work first we did introduce them why we use their experience in this project. Because it’s their own dojo which JFP project builds and support them. In second hand it was best chance to support this poor people in financially. As a member of this society always we are trying to think how to support the poor people indirect through sport, knowledge and work. It means (instead of everyday fish giving we must teach them how to catch fish).
This was some of the reason which they work so hard with good advice.
step 7: after completing the material inserting inside of the wood we did start the board installing as a cover.
The step 8: the paint section was almost the last step to complete the dojo. First we did cover all walls with some of the material which is need before paint to make as a skin in board. Than in next day when we feel which the wall is dry we start the painting section.
The Step 9: installing of the Tatamie before open ceremony. We get some of the small size 1X1 from Mr. Fromuli and we get some of the from mr. Mojieb club for open ceremony program. And this tatamie is from Taekwondo sport not from Judo sport. Really its hard to train judo. But no other chance and option.
The step 10: citing of the band by one of the guy from local area with Mr. Formuli. After that the all young generation was coming inside of club. The program was in Saturday of this weak in 4:00 AM.
The step 11: at the starting of the program first was Mr. Formuli speech for participant. In this speech he did explain why this dojo has build in this location. And what will be the effective of this dojo between people. As we know our target group people is child and young level that come from different province as an emigration.
The step 12: after that a short speech by me for the participant who come from different area. I did explained how we did start our work processes and in how long time we did build this dojo. Also I did explain for people to send their child to join us in judo training in the future. So the effective of the sport was the second part of my speech.
The step 13: at the end of the program the judo player had some judo training and show for participant. The purpose of the show was just to explained for other people how to star and how to finished training by respect. As we know the respect is one of the fundamental steep to run judo program in every where.
