This morning was Nak Su. It was awesome to actually get to be there for it, we’ve been hearing about doing it for months, and were all so excited to work with them. They have between 80-100 kids from 5 slums and a boys home there every week that they split up into teams to coach.
I was helping with a girls team, and a U-8 mixed team. The kids were so cute – as soon as we got there, they jumped all over us, and wouldn’t let go. Some of the little girls would stand on our feet, and make us walk them around places. I brought my sunglasses with me, and for the whole time, all the little kids would steal them from me and each other, it was so funny to watch.
Coaching the team was really funny though, because I have no idea how to play rugby – I don’t even know the rules for it. It was a lot of fun though, some of the kids are amazing at it.
They were telling us about it a bit, and they said that they have sponsors that are willing to give these kids scholarships and stuff for university if they get good enough at rugby – it’s awesome to know that they’re not just getting to play rugby, but also are getting a chance to actually be educated and have a future more than just the slum that they live in.
