The Yebo South African world cup 2010!

Ruth and Jane try to take hold of the ballToday the South African Yebo team were lucky enough to be able to visit  a school based in Tzaneen teaching children from preschool age and upwards.

The school were very welcoming and it was great to be able to have the opportunity to visit a local school.  We were able to have a look around some of the classes and were given a tour by the headmaster who was very approachable and appeared very passionate about his work at the school.

After we had a look around and were able to observe we then were Gillian cheering on her team mateslucky enough to have a football match with several of the classes which was great fun.

With Tammy in goal, Mia battled it out Scoring a goal!The Yebo world cup teamwith the ball, while Jane and Gillian helped with defense.  Lucy, Helen, Rebecca and Ruth played well as they had hold of the ball.  Judy took photos while Charlotte rested her ankle.  The children from the school were playing very well, and we even managed to score a goal! We had a great day and the school were very interested in the work we were doing with Letaba school.  They may be getting involved with helping Letaba once a month by sending some of their students to do some art and crafts with the children which we hope will be a positive benefit to Letaba.

Some of the children from the school were teaching some of our team a great football song and dance which they seemed to be learning well at the side of the pitch.  We all had a great day and got in some good exercise at the same time!
