 Written by Adnan. Hello All,  I would like to start by saying the food here is top notch quality.  The young leaders are all lovely and made todays tournament extremely enjoyable.  We woke up at the crack of dawn, 5am, to ensure we were at the venue at time for the children to have a great day.   The buzz from the school children's chanting was class and very impressive.  The tournament started at around 10am and ended after 5 hours at 3pm.  I got slightly sunburnt, but has disappeared at the time of writing this.  Everyone at the competition was mesmerised by our ages and many accused us of lying, I blame the beard.  We returned back to the camp at around 4pm, shattered and exhausted but very humbled.   Overall, I had a great day and we have had a wonderful time on this trip, I look forward to making more memories here. To mum and dad - I am excited to see you soon and can't wait for the kebab and haircut when I get back. Lov...

 Written by Molly. Today was another coaching day in which we visited 2 schools in the morning (with extremely polite children, all of whom were fully engaged) before returning to camp for lunch.   The first school really highlighted how little these children have as in order to reach the pitch we had to walk 5 minutes through the village.  Everyone was so excited to see us all and we all were swarmed by happy faces at least once during the day. The food here is wonderful and recently lunch has been a sandwich with crisps that, despite the simplicity, have been keeping me going. We also visited a third school in the afternoon, where we just played games with the children, it was clear they loved every minute. On the way back we got pulled over for 'speeding' (3mph over the speed limit - don't worry parents they all had their seatbelts on!), but Mr Horrod used his magical haggling skills - on behalf of the other driver - to lower the fine down from an outrageous £17 t...

 Written by Martha This morning we went to safari and saw lots of animals including elephants, giraffes, white rhinos, crocodiles, storks, warthogs, zebras, baboons, hippos, hornbills, wildebeest and lots of impalas.  Unfortunately most of the animals were in the distance so we couldn't see them particularly clearly and the majority of my photos were blurry, but it was still a great experience. At some point during the safari we got out of the jeep and were led to armed guards to 2 white rhinos.  We were told some interesting facts about them, most of which I have forgotten. The only one I remember was the reason for why white rhinos are called that despite not being white.  It turns out it was a misunderstanding.  Basically, they are grazing animals, meaning they eat grass, so they have a wide mouth.  The English, because of this, called them Wide Rhinos but the Dutch misheard it as White Rhinos, now everyone just calls them that. On the way back to Fawlty...
