Uhuru School where Peter Josef teaches invited him to stay for lunch on Friday and to play games with the children in the afternoon. They also invited other CCS volunteers to join in the fun.
The girls began with a game of netball, a basketball/handball cross. However, with no available net, a goal was scored by hitting a rock with the ball. At this school they used real balls.
Later, the girls formed a large circle in which they sang and danced to both English and Swahili songs. Girls were called into the centre to do a special dance. Their abilities caused Paula to remark, "The upper part of their body and lower part of their body are not connected!" At one point Kat and Paula were called into the circle with two other school girls. Their were "out-danced", proving that white women can't dance.
The boys played a competitive game of football (soccer) on the other half of the field. CCS volunteers were divided between the two teams with a total of almost 50 children playing. The dust storm caused by this game and mid-afternoon heat gave volunteers obvious reason to enjoy a shower upon their return to CCS after 1/2 hours of play. However, the dust had barely settle when we were asking if we could do this again nest week!
