I'm heading back to the refugee camp tomorrow morning at dawn. This time I'm going alone to head the program there and hopefully hold Miyukwayukwa's first ever GRS graduation. Over the weekend we had a visit from Tommy Clark, the founder and head of Grassroot Soccer. It was great to have him here to witness what's going on on the grassroot side of Grassroots. We went to see the Zambian national team play Angola(who made it to the World Cup). Zambia won 2-0 and I have never been in a more joyful atmosphere nor had so much fun celebrating a goal. While after the last game I went to, in which they lost, there were riots, this time everyone was all smiles and shouting "No fighting, no fighting." I'm going to chalk it up as the most exhilarating thing I've experienced here thus far. I'm off to the bush until Sunday. Look for some new pictures on Monday.
