Mr. and Ms Bourkanyana visiting Peter and Mary

Situation: Mary/Peter and Mr. and Ms Bourkanyana is sitting around a table drinking coffee.
Mary: I'm really glad you could come over. I think we have a lot to talk about.
Arkan Bourkanyana: Yes that's true. As I said to Peter there has been some trouble with youngster and my wife feel unsure when she goes to the park these days.

Peter: Yes I can understand how you feel, I experienced them myself when we had the football game the other day. I don't understand why they behave like that. Maybe they are just boring and frustrated.

Arkan: But there is something else I would like to mention to you both, maybe you can help. You Mary have been working in the school and I think that Karhan is dropping out of school. (Arkan looking at his wife) We are both very worried about him.

Mary: oh, that's not good!

Arkan: The police came to my shop the other day and told me there had been a fight in the park among the boys and the police asked me if my son had been involved in that. They had seen him around during the day with a group of boys which they were keeping an eye on.

Mary: yes I have seen these boys when I have been in the park with the kids feeding the ducks , and I have been thinking that why are they not in school at this time of the day. But I can't tell if Karhan has been among them.

Arkan: The only thing I could tell the police was that I did not know anything about this, and that I really hoped my son had not been involved in that, and that I would talk to him when he came home.

Ms. Bourkanyana: Karhan is a good boy, but he is in a difficult age. He don't know what he wants to become in the future and he is not very fond of doing school work. He tells me very often that he rather would work and could help his father in the shop.

When this came up I phoned his teacher and he could tell me that Karhan had been away from school many days lately.

Peter: Did you talk to Karhan about this?

Ms. Bourkanyana: yes we did but he is not very willing to talk about it. He just said that he had not been involved in the fight, but that he knew these guys and that he liked to be with them.

Mary: well sometimes youngsters can be difficult to talk to. I know that from school.
But it is good to hear that he was not involved in the fight.

Peter: I talked to the Gardener - you know John - the other day. He told me that he had been interviewed by some social work students that were going to start some projects in this area. I wonder if we could ask them for help with this group of youngsters. Maybe they can sort out why they behave like this and guide them into other activities.

Ms. B: Well that is a good suggestion. Maybe we can get some peace again in this park.

I think we have to go now. I very much support your initiative Peter. Let us hear the result.
Ms and Mr B:Thank you for the chat and the coffee, it is really good to have you as neighbours.

Mary and Peter: we also appriciate your company very much. Bye, see you another day
