Juggling requires dexterity

Starting with two newly bought tennis balls each, we trained our kids a juggling. A good exercise to increase concentration and dexterity. After a period of 2 hours, we could sort out three very talented kids who succeeded with 3 balls a few times. In order to cement and improve their skills, we borrowed them the balls for further training during the week.
Furthermore, Mako Nikoshwa brought the “Beat” of the song dealing with kids and instructed the kids how to sing to it.
Due to the success in the football game last weekend, one of our coaches, believing in the potential of the IriCreArt (The Color of Development creates Art) participants, founded the team “FC IriCreArt” which he will start to train also during the week.
Besides that, we continued with traditional dance and painting lessons as usual and are proud to announce that we have an official logo now. Find it below in the images!

Cheering can be as much fun as playing

For this weekend a football match was scheduled. It was a success for the IriCreArt-Team, winning 2 – 0 against the team of the S.O.S children village, .
Apart from our team which did quite well, the group feeling, which was underpinned by the vociferous cheering of the other participants of our program, was most encouraging.
The fans were supporting our team warmly and were being passionately committed to the game.
By shouts such as “Tufite Swagga, tufite Swagga...”, we have the swagga, we have he swagga, they backed the IriCreArt-Player successfully.
After the game the team as well as the supporters were rewarded by fruits being handed out. So much fun this weekend, events like this definitely have to be repeated!
