The man
Kader is born at Gouraya (Algeria) the first of June 1969 and arrived
in France in 1973.
It was not too difficult for him to adapt to his new life even though
he had to cope with two new languages at the same time: French and
English which was taught at the infant school at that time .
He grew up in Mazamet,a town of 12000 inhabitants, at the foot of
the black mountain in the Tarn before moving to Aussillon,a small
town next to it. It was there that he spent the remains of his childhood
and his adolescence.
It was a 'normal' life rhythmed by school, sports and holidays playing
football morning to evening.
During summer, he used to return, to Algeria to visit his family.
He evolved discretely in society and he felt the need to be alone
and his interest brought him to learn in silence.
School did not give enough freedom to be himself. he thought of it
as a rigid institution which took away from him a part of his personality.
And he was often in clash with some teachers who did not understand
him.
But overall, he managed a good average and pass his 'baccalaureate'.
After a year in university in applied foreign languages, he finally
gave up his studies because he was not made for that. He passed his
state certificate of athletics and little by little came into active
life.
He juggled with his work and sport and became more and more aware
of the problems you meet in our society. He always try to understand
what determines our behaviour mainly by a research of our history.
That expressed itself by a study of North American Indians. Their
visions and their dignity told him a lot about this people.
Travels that he made through sport enriched him a lot and encouraged
the taste to go out and meet others.
Unhappily, intolerance and indifference are present in our society
and he had difficulty to understand that.
Tolerance asks for a certain effort, this the reason for which he
avoids the lazy who do not bother to think.
