Sports time at Nyota Ing'arayo
Come on lets play ball...
For four weeks now I have been a Sports
volunteer on the GVI Mombasa teaching project.
As my title suggests I have been heavily involved with all aspects of
Sports at Nyota Ing’arayo School.
I conducted sports classes for Standard 7
right down to Standard 1. With the older
children I managed to get them involved in a whole manner of different sports,
football being their favourite of course!
However, I did succeed in teaching them the proper rules and even gave
out a few yellow and red cards. With the
younger children sports became more like playtime as we raced against each
other and learnt some new games.
However, when I arrived in Mombasa I
discovered that as well as my Sports classes I was also able to teach some
English if I wanted… I jumped at the chance and was in charge of the rowdy
Standard 4’s English lessons for the whole of my stay.
Overall, I feel privileged to have been
able to meet and get to know as many of the children as I did through their
love of sports!
