Recordist's notes
During afternoons in September, I found Hoersch Park in Dortmund peopled with community groups, young and old, doing their various exercises in the sports ground. This group caught my attention with an unfamiliar exercise of jumping on steps. A young sports man from Ghana called Thomas K Harry decided to dedicate his skills and experience to the well-being of the community free of charge. you may also listen to an interview with Thomas and member of the group here: https://archive.org/details/Sports_at_Hoersch_Park_Dortmund
