This past Sunday afternoon, Pan de Vida hosted it's 1st official game on our "Football/Soccer Field." The directors have always felt it is important for the children to be involved in sports and extracurricular activities, however, due to transportation logistics and scheduling conflicts, each season presented it's own set of problems. One of which was that the time and location of games/practices meant late nights for the kids and volunteers. Plus they often had to miss church to participate.
With the donation and hard work of teams and volunteers, and coordination of our Directors, we were able to work toward the vision of having our own home field. Now we are enjoying the fruits of the labour and can now host games at Pan de Vida. The grass has been suffering due to lack of rain for 7 months and extreme heat, but it continues to be watered. Once the rain comes, we know it will revive.
The great news is that our Pan de Vida girls team, The Buffalos, won!!! They beat The Ponys 26-12. Despite the heat, the girls rallied together to play hard and in a sportsmanlike attitude to pull the victory off. The additional benefit was that the whole Orphanage was there to cheer them on so there was a lot of excitement in the air. Here are some photos of the event and I have even included some of our marvelous cheerleaders!
