FATHIME KHAMSI
Bahari division Girls’ committee, coach, member of the MTGK Super team
Team: Black Mamba

Joined MTGK in 2003

My names are FATHIME TIBU KHAMIS. I am 14 years, I live at Kilifi town near Bahari bar. I am a player and I play in the Black Mamba team which was the champion of Bahari open age league 2005. I am also a coach and I have two teams for under 12, Super Stars and Everton. I joined in the MTGK project in the year of 2003. In the MTGK Bahari there is a girls committee and in that committee I am the assistant secretary.

On my first time when I joined MTGK I was not a good player, I could not kick the ball for even one metre.  For me it was difficult. I was shy because it was my first time to play football and also I was thinking that football it’s only for boys. But I didn’t give up, I continued going to the practice until the time I dribbled and passed our coach who is ROSE KONDE.  I was very happy and that day I will never forget it until rats plan their births.  I could not play with boots, when I wear them I play with them and after 5minutes I take them off.

The first thing which I want to say is how MTGK helps me in coaching. It has give me a lot of skills.  Although I could not talk in front of people, but now I have gained something in coaching and also I have confidence and I am still learning.

When I am playing football I try to show all of my skills because my aim is to go and play in the national team. MTGK also has helped my body to be physically fit and also has change my mind in different ways. After school hours I just go to the field then I have my practice after there I am tired with no time for thinking of boys. I would like to say thanks to MTGK because it has done a lot of things which I  didn’t know them before.  Also my parents allow me to play football because I am doing well at school.
