One day here

Only 2 months left to get back home, In capital of Kenya, Accre. Today is Monday, a new week started. I woke up at 7 o'clock, 1 hour earlier than normal. There was a breakfast prepared with a ceremony for al the gap year volounteers: i really enjoyed because it had food that I really miss from Uruguay and I also shared experiences with others volounteers. I met Leo, he is from Uruguay ! I couldn't believe that I was going to find an uruguayan there.He is 20, and he teaches english in schools of Accre as volounteer. I arranged with him before ours gap year finishes to share a with his students and mines. At 11 o'clock I was already at the football field in the center of the town, all the children were waiting for me. Today I thought to them how to possition, how to pass and how to shoot, we finished at 13:30. After a nap I was ready to visit Dome, another city in Kenya near Accre. I really enjoyed it. I visited museums, monuments and many churches. I didnt had time to see all in the city, so I am sure that Im coming back to Dome again. I dinned at 6:30, I eated meat with rice. Meat is not that good here, but anyway I like it. Right now it's 7 o'clock and in a moments im going to sleep

Last 6 months

I am here in Kenya now since 6 months, but It doesn't seems like, today I was thinking and it only seemed to be just some weeks. My project is doing really good, I am teaching football to lot of children. When I started I just had 10 boys, but now I can not even count them ! They are really enjoying it, and I think that many children here may have a future in this. I am appreciating a lot of progress in them, when it begun they only used to fight each other, but now they are getting friends and getting closer. I really like the people I meet on this travel, they are from different cultures so it’s an excellent experience for make friends from all over the world and exchange cultural things.

My First Day !!!!

Today was my first day in Accre, capital of Kenya. The flight took off at 13 o'clock from Montevideo, all my friends and family were there, it meant a lot to me. I arrived 14:30 to Buenos Aires and my flight to Kenya was supposed to be at 4 o'clock but it was delayed. Finally, one hour later, the plane took off. After a hard flight, at 5 o'clock in the morning I arrived to Accre. On my first impressions, local people was very polite and generous with me even with the bad mood I had because of the jet lag. The hotel is a little far from city's centre but anyway I like it because it has everything I need. I couldn't see much the city because Im and really tired and I can barely write this, anyway I took some photos and Im uploading them next to this post. Tomorrow I will discover the city, and next week I am starting with my volounteering.

Gap Year In Kenya

The made i choose, is to have a gap year in Kenya on a sports project, not just because it's an enjoyable way to spend your gap year, it can have an amazing impact on children for whom sport is one of the only hope they have in their lives. The love of sport is universal; on some level, everyone loves sport, and in some places, it brings people together, helping to build stronger communities and societies. There are plenty of opportunities all over the world for anyone who wants to volunteer on a sports project, the choose I made is teaching football in Accra, the capital of Kenya
