The locals will use any excuse for a football game. Here I am with some kids watching a game to celebrate Independence day.
The sports outreach program always attracts a crowd. I've enjoyed being involved with it, and playing in the football match to end the days program (as the token white female!). The group has been visiting local villages on Saturdays to host an event of games, singing, and a gospel message.
This particular village had a tree stump in the middle of their football pitch! I also learnt, although it made a nice photo, standing behind the goal for a penalty shoot out is not a good idea (after I copped one in the head).
Fishing isn't a sport here as much as a necessity... this girl had the unfortunate experience of almost choking to death on her catch. She was trying to kill the fish by biting its head. Seems it bit back!! It was lodged so tightly in her throat it took sedation and a lot of maneuvering to get it out!
I've enjoyed the company of some of the youth girls, and have had a few of them to stay over in the last few months. Here we are eating nshima.
Mamisa has become a good friend, we both enjoy playing football and frisbee with other girls each week.
Some people feature on my blog cos of their looks... here's Isaac, a Will Smith look-a-like... of course he has no idea who that is! And some more cute kids.
