Day 7! 8-)

Day 7 - Sports Festival

We arrived at the sports festival and as we got off the bus we witnessed around 40 children pour out of 10 seater buses-not a sight you see everyday! When we walked into the field we saw that some of the children had already arrived with the sports equipment set out on the field. What stood out in particular was the fact that they had even made their own goal posts out of wood. After a while all the children from the 5 different schools arrived and the sports festival began after some of the teachers had said a few words; including Parker. The different sports that the children competed in included tag rugby, volleyball, football, end ball and rounders. All the games were played in good spirit with the younger children playing in the morning whilst the older children played in the afternoon. What amazed us was the talent that the children had for the sports especially since they had only been playing them for two years. The weather was extremely hot so several of us went back to the bus to get some water. However, there was a nasty surprise waiting for us in the form of cockroaches and beetles; some of which had crawled into our belongings! Charandeep was not so manly about the situation and instead made Bianca go into the bus to get his bag whilst he waited outside screaming... What a man.

The unreal talent the kids behold was proven at the sports festival by Bright Future who took the winning titles for  Rounders and Volleyball! All of us were extremely proud of the children who competed, they are truly an inspiration. Bright Future proved the pride they have of us in return by waving a huge Coventry City Football Club flag around; something that will stay with us forever.
