Football
The first thing we did with the street boys was to play football with them every Tuesday afternoon. This is still a regular fixture and has been a great way of getting to know them – both the ones in 1moreChild and those still on the street. Afterwards all the boys come back to the house for supper and a shower.
Every Thursday after school we have football training for our boys. They learn new skills, practice different exercises and prepare for up-coming matches.
We have two teams – juniors (under 12s) and seniors (under 14s). We play about twice a month against local schools, football clubs and village teams. We always play away as we don’t have a pitch, which the boys enjoy. The boys take the matches very seriously and each match we have a ‘Man of the Match’ prize.
