The first couple weeks of November involved more prep and carrying out of another football (soccer) camp. This time it was a camp for primary schools…Rugazi Parents’ and All Saints. Things seemed to go a bit smoother this time, as Hayley and I made some adjustments to the HIV-AIDS lesson format. And since the students were younger they were not quite as competitive as the secondary students, making for better sportsmanship. I had tons of fun with the students of Rugazi Parents’ during the week, while Hayley spent the week with All Saints. I remember the final day of practicing drills with the girls’ team, I lead some drills so their coach could go help with the boys’ team. What fun! We had a good time, as the girls are only beginning to learn how to play football – and I am only beginning to learn how to play, myself!
We were able to award both trophies, this time. Again, because the students were a bit younger competition was more sportsman-like. Also, EVERYONE knew what had happened during the championship game between the boys’ secondary schools! It was a laughing point, but no one wanted a repeat of that experience. And all of the teams seriously wanted that trophy! Though competition was tough, both trophies went to the boys’ & girls’ teams of All Saints Primary School. The celebrating of the week ending concluded by the two boys’ teams and the two girls’ teams from Rugazi Parents’ & All Saints enjoying sodas & biscuits at the COVOID office, just a short walk down the road from the football pitch.
Special thanks to all students, coaches, teachers, and COVOID staff for participating in a week of promoting such a fun avenue for HIV-AIDS education and awareness.
