our first match has been promising.
At the beginning of this month, we started our football team as part of the objectives on the project. We managed to get 20 young boys who are talented though from poor families. We improvised some uniform sports wears for them but these are not yet good. We have been training everyday during morning hours and yesterday we had our first match against a team in our locality called Pioneers. The match was a draw 1-1 but our boys played so good and they are promising.
We hope to have another friendly match on sunday 30th, Aug with Ball line FC, a football club in the near by locality. We expect much there.
All in all, the football team has started off and the boys are active and happy with their talent.
We are still facing some problems in accomplishing our mission... For example lack of enough sports equipments e.g balls, jerseys, boots, training equipments e.t.c, lack of enough funds, lack of enough skills to train the children and others.
As we have started with football, we expect to handle other children with some other talents as well such as athletics, music, dance drama, acting, fashion,design, e.t.c
