Fun @ Kibera Tennis This August Camps

The Kibera tennis court was also a hive of activity this holiday season as we joined Sadili in taking tennis to the slums of Kibera. more than 300 kids from all ages showed up, from those who are learning to walk, to older kids who are in secondary school. With our guest coaches Eric Terp, Katsuya Otsu, Alex and volunteers Amilia Barry and Ulla Boesen, we transformed the Kibera Tennis Court in to a bee hive of activities. The guest coaches worked hand in hand with the coaches in Kibera; they are Rehema Aquinyi, Richy Ooko, Asha Adongo, Wallace lence and Dr. Liz Odera.

The Kibera tennis court activities are made possible by the well wishers who donated used rackets and tennis balls that we used here and we thank them for their support.

Other than tennis, the kids also played lots of basketball under Kenyan national star player and youth coach, Zack Okong'o Basil, assisted by upcoming trainee, Adongo worked with the kids to ensure their basket ball skills improve. It was fulfilling to see their techniques improved day by day. The the boys particularly loved having a male figure to look up to this holiday at the Kibera Court!

May Girl Power Sports Day Is Amazing!

Girl Power Club Sports Day in Nairobi was amazing, as national premier league team Cooperative Bank and their coach, volunteered to run a training camp that day, and 55 girls attended! We also had a group of 10 boys from St. Catherine who joined us, making the total 67.

The day started with life skills and our topic of discussion was HIV and AIDS. We focused on the following areas,

·      Prevention

·      Contraceptives use.

·      Abstinence

·      Diet /Food

·      Drug abuse and adherence (Antiretroviral)

In the basket ball court the girls were divided into groups of 12.These groups rotated after 10 minutes form one teacher to another who taught a different skill. The skills taught included dribbling the ball, shooting, defense, footwork, and how to pass the ball. It was very organized and professionally done.
