Mzungu = white person!

This is a word I hear a million times a day! OK so its been a while since I have been able to get online, as a consequence I'm so behind on my blog I don't know where to start!



We screened 3 matches in Kenya, starting out in M'Bita which has the highest HIV rate in Kenya. Mbita was a 8 hour drive from Nairobi which was exhausting as there were some terrible roads! Potholes that you could get lost in! We also had an electric storm so the last bit of the journey was in darkness and required using the the dif lock as we were sliding all over the place in the mud! We made it though and the first game drew a big crowd of nearly 500. After that we headed to Sotik which is full of tea plantations. it was lush and green and the match was a success despite very heavy rain! After that we hit an outskirt area of Nairobi where the Africa Goal partners had organised some skits before the match - this included a condom orchestra! Classic!

Now we are in Tanzania, it was a 7 hour drive but we're here although we didnt get to screen the match as Coca Cola beat us to it and apparently are touring and screening matches too! So AG teamed up with them and used the crowd to put out lots of HIV and AIDS info and prizes for answering questions correctly. Very interactive and noisy as one of the gifts was a vuvuzela which is a south african trumpet!

Its very late, jonny is passed out asleep and we're about to have some food with the AG team - chinese! mmmm! Not sure what tomorrow brings but no doubt much chaos! So much I haven't mentioned but I shall try to write another blog in the morning when I have more energy!

Byeeeee!
