Thanks to Susan Walker and the donations of many Duxbury
soccer players my Dad was able to bring over bags of soccer cleats, shin
guards, socks, jerseys, and gloves with him for the sports teams here at Kafule
Secondary School. Last week there was a
match scheduled against a neighboring village for Friday. Anxious to try out the new equipment (which
was shown to the students at Monday morning assembly and was received with much
cheering and whistling as each item was taken out of the bags), our sports and
games prefect decided to schedule a practice match against Kafule Village, our
biggest rivals. Last semester Kafule School
only lost one match all season, and it was to Kafule Village. The games are always close and heated between
the two teams so it was a perfect opportunity to use the new equipment. In the first half of the game Kafule School took
a 2-0 lead. Grace looked over at me
after the second goal was scored, “Do you see?! Do you see??” She called out, “it’s
the shoes!!” Kafule School went on to
win the game. Unfortunately, the actual match
on Friday was canceled because of the rain, but the students are looking
forward to another match tomorrow!
Friday morning I arrived at school to see all of the shoes
shiny and clean, lined up in the sun drying; the students are apparently taking
seriously the headmasters instructions to care for this precious equipment.
