Sports day.

The Plan for the day was to go to the center again, but this didn't happen. We were told that we were going to Yakini because apparently the teachers wanted our help with something. So we arrived at the school, saw the headteacher and he asked us what we were going to be doing today, we said well we thought you needed our help, he wasn't aware of any teachers requesting our help so instead we joined two of the volunteers with some of the children to go to football and netball trials. The children we were ging with had got through to the second round and now they were going to play to see if they got picked for the Arusha team. From Yakini we had one girl for the netball and about 7 boys for football. It turned out to be a great day, being someone who was brought up with playing netball from primary school all through to college and played in the teams, it was great to be able to help share my knowledge of the game. I practiced with Swali, whilst the athletics was happening we practiced shooting and as soon as we were practicing we attracted a crowd, all the girls wanted to join in a play with us, which was great. 

After a few matches and having to restrain myself from questioning the refs decisions, the team was announced and Swali was the first girl picked for the team, we were all so proud! The boys did amazing in the football matches too, five out of our seven boys got picked!
