At one point the ball rolled under a locked shed but we
managed to extract it with a palm frond.
The girls were good players and had no hesitation rushing in to tackle
even with bare feet. I found my métier
in defence - getting in the way and slowing the ball down even if I don’t kick
so well…I had a great goalie too. The
girls got hold of my camera and started taking pictures – this little girl
didn’t realize she was taking her own portrait which caused much merriment!
The game ended in a very honorable 5-5 draw.
The next day when we were on the way back to Kampala,
driving through the countryside on the murram road, a volleyball came rolling
into the path of the car. Nancy leapt
out to retrieve it and before we knew it
she had been invited to join the volleyball game. The whole school came out to watch. It was a very memorable event for all of us.
