The Football Team
The Football team was blessed with new uniforms from the Iowa group. The students look pretty snazzy in their new uniforms. Watching or playing football is a national pasttime in Zambia. If the Zambia team is playing, the students can be found crowded around the nearest TV watching intently. Some of the students aren't always able to play because they don't have the right equipment. On student (a goalie) hadn't been able to play for several months because he didn't have shoes. I found out recently, that he now has shoes and is playing again. But another student is not able to play because he doesn't have shoes. The cycle continues. Many don't have the proper pads needed for protection either. The students make do with what they have and are thrilled to play.
I was very fortunate to be at the college when the students received their uniforms. How exciting! I also had the opportunity to take individual and team pictures. To see these, click here.
