Day 9

Hey there!

Guess who!?

It’s Sarah and Andrea again!

Miss us?

It was quite a slack day with the usual breakfast of champions, consisting of the Ashanti Lodge breaky medley. We then raced to the local food stand to acquire goods for our large lunches. Yay for Checkers.

With a hop in our step we headed for the Rainbow Center. Little did we know that we would be waiting for an hour and a half…for the Allstars to finish their Monday morning meeting. In the meantime we hackied away and played some ‘taps.’ I leisurely slept on the concrete.

When they finally graced us with their presence, we started off the morning with the animal game. Caitlin was absolutely awful as she couldn’t hold a steady beat or remember any other animals involved. She improved…slightly. Lindsay and Brittany took half the folks to work on basic excel training and spreadsheets. The rest of us taught basic soccer and refereeing skills. It was funny…..Vuyani gave Bart a yellow card and then had to take it back after realizing that he incorrectly penalized her. We played a small-sided match and had the Allstars ref it as we purposely…and not so purposely, messed up.

It was then lunchtime…..we once again enjoyed our homemade goods and hung out at the center playing some goofy games. We then were sent to a couple schools to deliver equipment and then went to a large field in Gugulethu to ref and assist in a couple soccer matches. We led warm-up and I reffed. It was extremely difficult with the language barrier.

Dinner was at The Clay Oven on Long Street….we once again had pizza and it was fantastic as per usual. We went to bed ridiculously early…Mo achieved 8:30pm bedtime.

Keep following. Yo da best.

Peace and love,

Bean and Bug.
