Today was our fourth day at CHAMRECC School in Mitumba. We had the tour of the old school and also the classes. After the tour of the school we had the parent’s workshop which was all about Gender Equality. The session went down a storm with both the team and the parents, especially when we did the debate, as recently qualified mason’s construction engineer Jordan is thinking about a career in politics, just kidding. After lunch we went to the Masai field for the coaching session with the children. The coaching partners were as followed:
· Sean and Dan
· John and Jordan
· Lawsy and me (Coxie)
The children enjoyed the session. After the coaching we had our first 11 a side match of the trip. After the first half we were 1-0 down. John’s inspired half time team talk made a difference as we turned the game around. I (Coxie) started the comeback after a great passing move and I slotted it home past the keeper who was diving to his bottom right hand corner, 1-1. Then a few minutes later Lawsy on his third attempt hit the ball off the post and it rebounded off the keeper and went in, 2-1. We were hanging on to the win but a few minutes later Jordan with the outside of his right foot rounded of a great performance by the team to score, 3-1. The children were fantastic cheering us on all game. After that we headed to the Langata field near Kibera for our training session with Samba girls. We saw better improvement from the girls with their passing and movement off the ball during the session. After the training session we headed back to the apartment to eat and have a few drinks. Overall it was an excellent day.
Peace out!
