Week two for group three saw the students begin their placements, getting used to the various bus routes and places to eat lunch- if they got a chance-! The weather has definitely been getting hotter which has meant lots of sun cream and water and unfortunately a fair share of sickness bugs!
After getting to know their teams, a few of the students organised some friendly matches between the different placements on Friday. Fountain of Hope challenged Chawama in under 12, under 14 football and under 12 basketball. There was not much to choose between the two teams, which could clearly be seen in the under 12 football match that ended 1-1. Chawama then took the under 14 football whilst fountain the under 12 basketball.
Elsewhere Munali girl’s netball and boy’s football took on Kalingalinga teams- who had an enjoyable walk to the event working on their team chant with support of their new coach Lucy. A younger Munali boys team were thrilled with only a 1-0 loss against k-town and the k-town girls also enjoyed their match despite a loss against a strong Munali girls team.
The past week also the saw the first of three birthdays of students in the group- a lot considering there are only ten! Flo Glen turned 19 on Wednesday, the group had a BBQ and watched a film to celebrate whilst she chewed through here 50p fruit slab present! Today Olivia Howard turns 22 and the group are going for their first meal out of the house to celebrate and the end of next week Lucy Bell turns the big 2-1! Happy Birthday girls!!
This week, the schools are back and so not only are the students coaching, they are now teaching in the classrooms about HIV and AIDS. It is set to be a busy week ending with a Zambian themed evening on Friday…watch this space!
