2014 GREAT SURPRISE

It was at around 5:10 when Mr. Hein Post Uiterweer and his wife accompanied by Mr Gert Jan and his wife Nynke surprised us during training at Mago youth Polytechnic. He was carrying a bag having training materials.
In the bag were training boots, uniforms, foot balls and football pump as you will see in the pictures below.

After talking to Mr. Hein, he said that these donations were from two clubs in the Netherlands.


The football clubs are ZEEROBBEN and ROBUR from HARLINGEN city 

This was a great celebration of the whole team.








just before they arrived in the picture below is soccer girls training without boots and uniforms.



This is what really touched all the players, you know now its very hot in Kenya and also very rough because the grass is drying up, training bare foot is really dangerous to the foot. with the training boots its going to be very comfortable which will enhance the players technique and morale.









After the training we all assembled to receive these donations, and celebrate them all together.

below are pictures taken on Sunday the 2nd of March 2014.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!






VOTE OF THANKS
We want to warmly thank the parents of Nynke and Gert Jan for having such a kind heart and making this possible for us as a team, and so much thank Mr. Gert Jan and His wife Nynke for being on the ground, giving morale to the team and even supporting us so much whenever we need help.

Today our Most thanks goes to the Foot ball clubs in the Netherlands "ZEEROBBEN" and "ROBUR" who have greatly supported us with the training materials, most of the times we have borrowed uniforms whenever we are playing and even played bare foot, many of our players getting injuries and etc, but today seeing us in that uniform and playing boots is a very big boost to the club. We are a growing club which has already made a lot of impact in the community and the whole county, we know that with the support of you guys many will change. This club has not only helped the talents of the girls grow, but it has also built in them confidence to face most of the challenges in life. A chance to participate in community sports especially foot ball which was viewed as a mens' sport, their physical fitness has been built up thus getting rid of so many illness, and its really fun, they really enjoy the sport and interact with others in the whole Kenyan society.

we all believe that if we have people standing with us both materially and financially as soccer girls, we will be able to reach out to our dreams, currently in the sub-county, our team qualified to play in the Football Kenya Federation League which will be commencing end of this month, we know it is more expensive than the tournaments we have been playing, but we believe we will get there. we are busy with training every weekend and some weekdays preparing for the League.
