Football!

In Africa, like most parts of the world, soccer is called football.

Afton is on the KICS football team. This is an away game at Star School.

 

Can you read the welcome message they wrote in the dirt?

(WELCOME TO STAR SCHOOL)

  

 Getting ready.

                   

  Stretching.

   The cross bar of the goal only had an impact on the score a couple of times.

 Lots of people came out to watch game...

 students from Star School

 

                                                         and viewers who live nearby.

Where else do you put your sweater when you get too warm? 

On the sidelines, another game was going on -
Mabigabi

School girls in Rwanda spend a lot of their free time playing this game.
They let us join in, but it was tricky to understand.
When the two girls stop jumping, if they land on opposite legs, the girl in the center continues.
If they land on the same side, the outside girl moves to the middle and gets to play again.

 We played hard, but did not win the game.

Game over. Time for mingling.
