Anticipation ...

In less than 24 hours history will be made
... the first girls soccer match in our area
will be played.
The girls from both teams are excited and
I have a feeling it's going to be a real fun
place to be.
Our village will be playing on the road so
it means about a 6 mile journey. The
kids will have to ride their bicycles so
the plan is to meet up at around 7:30 a.m.
then head out.
The game is slated to start at 9:00 but
here ... it means more or less 9.
The other village also has a Peace Corps
volunteer and we collaborated to make
this our little 'International Woman's Day'
project.
The coach of our team will make a small
speech about how this is an historic
event for our part of the world and then
call out both teams to give them an
applause.
Also there will be a follow up boys game
and it will be good for the them to see
girls play soccer. The plan is to emphasize
equal rights and opportunities.
I will post with the results as soon as I can
and hope to have a picture to add.
It should be an energy filled day ... oh yeah
... and again ... historic.
