Hi guys,
Thought you all might be interested to hear of my exploits over the past months. I'm heading into my final year of my teacher training (Primary Education @ Canterbury Christ Church Uni) it's been a long road but I feel i've finally found my feet in my dream job and this time i mean it!
Part of one of the modules this year allowed us to take part in a placement away from school to a place where learning takes place, this could range from kiddies to adults anywhere you want. I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to head over to Ghana to teach in a small home/school established for children from an area of extreme poverty and give them the opportunity to gain a basic education!
I have travelled across many countries and was keen to wet my whistle in this particular area of Africa, and what an amazing experience it was. Aside from the teaching the founder and only one of two guys that have developed the project have taken on board the unbelievable passion for football and have 4teams set up U17's, 12's, U10's & a girls team. The 17's & 12's both won their leagues & the 10's came second. After school I would coach the U12's team and was able to see them play a few friendlies and these guys are quality players for their age! Just though you might fancy seeing some of the photos below.
Before I went I contacted Southend but was met with no response, because of the hectic build up to leaving I couldn't follow it up, but i'm back on the case and i'm hoping to get some donated kit of any kind and even better a feature in the programme!
Enjoy! (Hope the images work)
