After completing Stage 1 of the Arsenal Gap Year Internship, coaching football in schools alongside other sessions in the North London community, I am privileged to be spending Stage 2 in Mozambique. Here, the goal is to provide support and awareness in a severely deprived area through the worldwide language of football. We will not only be coaching football but also teaching basic English and computer literacy skills. Follow my blog for regular updates about our time here.....

New Balls Please

I will keep this post short and sweet as I think the pictures show just how much this surprise delivery meant to the club!

As I sat watching highlights of Arsenal on the godsend that is Supersport 3, I noticed the clubs directors opening a large package outside. I joined them to find that the package was the 30 brand new footballs that Arsenal had bought for the club. They didn't realise that we were expecting them as we wanted to keep it as a surprise for them, and we could not have predicted just how excited they would be! Short described the footballs as golddust. I think that is enough talking!

Finally, we presented each of the junior teams coaches with a number of footballs to help improve their sessions.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I know very well that the things we bring sometimes get more attention than the one bringing it! Good lesson in humility :-) I am excited with everybody about the balls, and that it arrived directly to Manica is a miracle beyond explanation.
