My first couple of weeks I took all the boys down for rugby, unsurprisingly this proved way too many and it was a mission trying to coach. As the term went on I would take a few of the grades and this proved much easier and successful. Soccer is the game of choice in the village, although rugby is becoming more and more popular there were some of the older boys who had no interest in even trying rugby. I took the boys for cricket one week and they loved it. It would be great for the boys to be able to play soccer, rugby and cricket.

All the kids are so keen to play sports, and there are so many amazing athletes among both the boys and girls. It's so refreshing to see every kid wanting to play, there are no kids with sick notes wanting to get out of PE! The kids just roll up their trousers, kick off their shoes and they are ready to play. The school does have some sports equipment, there are footballs for the boys and some for the girls to play netball with.

After my visit there are 7 or 8 rugby balls and there is a complete cricket set with pads, bat, stumps and ball. The boys played soccer on the village playing field, this is about 300 metres down the road from the school. The pitch is fairly level, hard and a bit rocky. There are goalposts (rusty but still do the trick) at each end of the field that are put up before each game. Inside the school grounds there are 2 netball posts where the girls play (during school breaks these are used by the boys as posts for their footy games). There is no playground, it's just hard, sandy and rocky ground.

Before I arrived the only sport the boys played was soccer. Currently after the second break at 12.15 there are no lessons and the kids clean their classrooms. The kids usually finished this early so I would take it in turns to take the boys to play rugby and the girls for netball. Any future volunteer should not neglect sports for the girls as they always seem to miss out. They are just as eager to play sports as the boys and are all very talented on the netball field.
