new sports shoes for our mentors

guys and girls with their new sports shoes

well once again a week has passed since the last blog post, things are so crazy busy here at the minute and what with that and the Easter break, during which time myself and maz celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary (yes i know we don't look that old!), i haven't had time to update on all that's been happening so here goes with some latest news.

this afternoon i was able to bless our 12 sports mentors (yes i know there's only 11 in the photo but one couldn't make it) by buying them some much needed sports footwear, this was due to a wonderful donor (you know who you are and the team say a big thank you) from the USA who after visiting our sports clubs late last year wanted to ensure that the guys had proper shoes, or even a pair of shoes, as they coach the other younger children.

the shopping trip was a bit of a whirl wind as i gave the boys and girls free reign of a couple of sports shops, however i did set some boundaries and made sure that the shoes were within budget and suitable for playing soccer. some tried to get some fancy school shoes, others wanted proper football boots with studs in, however we compromised on a couple of requests and it seems that they were happy with their purchases.

it is so great to be able to bless these amazing mentors, who coach at our sports clubs/outreach every afternoon and to ensure they are fully kitted out is so important as they share their skills with others!
