Week 3

We've had long weekend off. Plus, the rest was brilliant. I didn't feel tried the next day.

Robbie and myself did caneonlling on a Friday. It was really peaceful, but a lot of work on the arms. I struggled a bit, evenaully I got the technique. The river was so calm, and every stroke on the paddle to the river was a ease.

Fish Eagle were above our head, I think he or she was hunting for their next meal. But, it is a beautiful sight to see among other things in the river.

In the Tongole Lodge, Zane has arranged for the staff members to pick up First Aid. They were occupied for three whole days. The trainer or instructor was Rodney Chiwengo. Who, I've be told has a great patient and calmness. On top of that; he cool about things, which shows in his personality. I hope to see him in the near future. 

The great achievement this week was, the teachers who took the ideas from 'coaches coach', they've seen a change in the children and the children would want to learn more and want to do similar activities. It shows, a little change in what they do makes a big difference. One school in particular, Loga primary school. A teacher said "I've never seen so many kids coming to a session, because they were having so much fun." He also added, "there would be only 3 or 4 kids would come, 19 children was amazing! 

It displays children having fun and keep on enjoying sessions, they are now willing to come to the next session. It working!

During this week, we also saw Tongole Chickens. Were Robbie's mum, donated money to buy chickens to the foundation. The chickens are disrupted to families that don't have a lot means sell or buy things, this is great way to help them in right direction.

Pretty much all this families adopt children who have no longer have a parent to look after them.

As we going through the villages, there were field of peanuts, I was really surprised, how the old man pulled a bush out from the ground and there it appeared peanuts! That was another source of income that they would use to survive aswell. At first glance you'll never think, it's a peanut field. 

It been a long week. There some coaches that needed help in what their doing. But majority were able to execute the session with no problems so far. It's definitely feels satisfacting knowing that your skills and talent are working.  They really appreciate what you give them and they keen to learn more. 

We were invited to a game in the weekend. Everything was presented well and players look organized.  For my surprise, I saw actually referee and they were wearing their uniform! 

But, all the players didn't have shin pads. They still played regardless, two minutes into the game; the referee decide before they took a corner kick, to fix the hole in the net. (In my mind, they should have check that before they started the game.) It a shame we didn't see the whole game and only the kick off.

During this week, there were new staff that  Zane and Jo have employed.  To help them out during their holiday.  We have met her, and her name is Leia. A funny person and really good to talk to as well.

I see you next week!
