Are you ready for some football?


Or should I say foutbol?  Nothing makes the kids at Zanfan Lakay more excited than a little soccer, so I was excited that one of the donations I found that Kids Around the World sent (with the playground) was soccer equipment!  Now ZL has two soccer goals, cleats, jersey, shorts and new balls!  As we started passing out stuff, smiles were ear to ear, even on the reserved Martial and Reginald.  There were enough sizes that big to small found themselves on a team and legit soccer went down (Kingston Pride vs. Fordians)...totally fun...until Jimmy said it was homework time.   Oh well, a demen! We were able to take some balls down to the kids on the streets too and even the big boys were begging for them.  Soccer might be a little escape from some of the heaviness.  Makes me even more excited for our future site where we will have our own field and be able to serve the community with a little fun and a little break from reality.  Kids being kids, gotta love it!
