Farewell Zimbabwe!

This morning I woke up at 6:30 thanks to Bens amazing wake up calls. I had scrambled egg sandwiches and jam on toast. After breakfast we went to the school I was coaching at and held a tournament for all the schools that we have been coaching. We got there and set up the pitches. Sami and I taught the kids the Haka. I refereed some of the games on my pitch, however  I may have missed a couple of offsides. None of the teams from my school made it to the final the tournament was very competitive! Cassie's team won and were very happy! There were a few tears from the team that came second!

Many of them were sitting on the floor as their schools can not even afford tables and chairs.  So far i have been helping count the scores and record the teams with Jasmine however tomorrow i am going to try and be a pitch manager.

It was midnight when we decided to run to Cassie, Gloria and Kristi's chalet due to the swarm of fat red ants dancing in our duvet. Tonight we got piazza from pizza inn which was really nice and reminded us of home! PS: Ava- Hello!! I'm okay! I miss you guys! xx Darcey - Hello! Happy 17 months Thomas xx Olivia - Hi Mum and Dad! Hope you're having a nice holiday! Gloria - I got chased by a fat aggressive monkey ha ha LOL!! Byeeeee Lily Kri...

Tournament Six!!!!

Image
 The group witnessed a Zambian speciality today:  22 teams on the tournament list - 300 children turn up expecting to play!  Once the Livingstone Tag Rugby leaders had sorted out the team selection chaos it was time to get going. The Esher group were an absolutely wonderful, professional team after their experiences of all the tournaments so far and the programme ran 'like clockwork' finishing ahead of schedule. Congratulations to every single one of them for their performance today - could not have been more proud! This is written in s short break before we head out for the Zambezi River Cruise. Get back on the blog later this evening. Chris
