Gambia Smiling Coast of Africa

Seedy organizes a driver and now we go again to Kanikunda, where a football game was organized especially for us. The field is right next to the school, which we are now going to visit. At the moment they have project days and the children have to show their facial expressions and prove their ability to read in categories such as reciting poems. It's like a competition and at the end there should be a winner in each category.
The children are very excited and affectionate and scramble to shake my hand later we change to high five. That's just better in the crowd, also because everyone wants to say hello several times. The children marvel at us and want to know our names and where we come from. My hair is the attraction for the girls and everyone wants to touch it and also touch my skin. This is so cute.

Then the football match starts. It's a bit confusing for us because we don't really know who belongs to which team. Actually, the old hands play against the juniors. I'm happy to see Seedy play and after 45 minutes it's 1-0 for his team. After that there is a penalty shoot-out and then the winner is determined. Seedy's team wins. I gave 1000 Dalasi to both teams. There is a lot of discussion about this, because the winning team should get a larger amount than the losers. I agree, but then the old hands are generous and give everything to the juniors who can need it for their next tournament.Leia mais
