Football for social change!
July 2010 was an unforgettable month. Like June. It was all about the World Cup 2010! It was great. For Africa, for MTG. There were only winners.... Almost. The sad news came from our friends from the Kids League in Uganda who lost their former programme manager Abriga Siraj in the bomb blast in a cafe where 76 people died.
Ke nako!
June was the month we have been looking forward to. The MTG United under 16 team went to Moshi for their trip abroad and the Football for Hope team traveled finally to South Africa. But on a larger scale it was of course the World Cup 2010 that was the main event. The first ever World Cup held in Africa! And in Kilifi we could feel that we were part of it. It was not just us, MTG, being in Johannesburg, but also the video screening at our league fields that brought the World Cup close to the people in Kilifi.
