This years football season for "The Buffalos", girl's flag and boy's tackle teams, is officially over. There was a special event this past weekend to recognize the players for all their hard work, dedication and growth. Both teams did exceptionally well with the girls winning the semi finals to make it to the championship. They ended up losing the finals but they were ultimately winners with the way they worked as a team and displayed great sportsmanship.
Another achievement this season is that the Pan de Vida on-site football field was inaugurated and is league approved and eligible to host official games. Now the kids can be active in all practices and games without the obstacle of transportation and conflicts of schedules interfering. We have a Coach, who is Christian, that is very committed to come to train the youth not only in skills of the game, but also in character of being great team players through attitude. The kids have been able to interact with other youth on different teams to exercise everything they are learning.
It has also been fun to have the games at the orphanage so that the other kids, volunteers and friends can watch. We make up the biggest cheering section with our pop bottles of rocks and graffons for drums. It is a real family event and we are so grateful that people have had a passion to contribute for this to all be possible!
