The past week (27
th February-3
rd
March), we had an amazing sport week for Girl Power clubs at the comfort of their
schools. This deviates from the norm where we always have one-day event sports
days, usually at Sadili Oval Sports Academy.
We hoped to have the sports done with all Girl Power Clubs in
the 6 schools in Nairobi. However, this being a busy
period in the school calendar with most schools either having midterm
examinations or on midterm break, we had the pleasure of having the sports at Karama
Academy and St. Catherine Primary only.
Soccer at Karama Academy on Tuesday 28
th February
was fantastic. The hot and sunny weather did not stop the girls from
having fun. They were divided into two teams: A & B. Team A proved to be
stronger after winning 1-0 against team B. The girls were so thrilled to have a
whole one hour of nothing but soccer. They even begged for extra time at the end
of the game!
We were so lucky at St. Catherine’s Primary School on
Wednesday 1
st March as we had teachers coming in to work with us. Here
too the girls played soccer and were divided into teams A & B. The game
ended with a nil-nil draw, but that did not matter. What mattered was that
everyone participated and that all the girls enjoyed it.
The Girl Power Sport Week is an initiative to offer
sport participation opportunities in a term that’s too busy to run our usual monthly
Sports Days. Instead the activities are split into one huge week and students
have the opportunity to participate in sports at the comfort of their schools.
