The Wi - Experience, the 'East Meets the West'.
On Saturday, November 16th, I was invited by Malezi Mema Soccer Academy, based in Kiambu County, to join their U13 and U15 teams in their routine gym session. This was a great privilege, and I don't recall the last time I went to a gym of this calibre; indeed, this was a once-in-a-lifetime event for me, which made me think of how we can also create such experiences for the child in underserved communities.
After the gym session I led the skill-up master session on life skills. My lesson focused on critical and creative thinking, as well as how the kids may integrate learning with football.
I'm looking forward to the next session (experience) whereby we will have our team from Mathare North visit the facility, play football, and have a skill-up session at the location, which is something I know will be an eye opener and inspiration for them to see life from the other lane. We will also organise a return experience whereby the kids from the West will visit Eastlands.
