Fo the computer workshop today, our focus was the Internet. After looking at the PowerPoint, and knowing the people we run the workshop with, we decided to scrap most of it, and do it ourselves, as most of what was on the PowerPoint was pretty much useless. We have a couple of people who are really advanced, and don't really need to be there. and a few who struggle quite a lot. So telling them what "http" stood for was just pointless.
We got them working the Internet, searching for different websites, using YouTube, Google Chrome, and generally playing round with the Internet. It was really a long class, and we finished it all by 10:30, but they seem to be getting better and better, which is positive. We only have one more day with them, which is only a few days before we leave, where we get them all emailing eachother, which should be good.
After the workshop was over, we had a sit down and a chat with Joe and Lourens, and helped them enter a couple of Twitter competitions, before heading out to get some lunch. Today's food, burgers. Lush. I scoffed mine down, before starting on my beloved Koeksisters, which I told you about before. It's my little treat for myself after the computer classes.
We then headed to Trafalgar High School, which we were looking forward to, after a really good session last week. We got there, 10 kids were waiting for us. They seemed to have the same situation as Harold Cressy yesterday, with exams all concluding tomorrow. So many of the kids were studying for them, which we can't really argue with, as studying is more important than a kick around.
With the kids we did have, we played a match. 6v6. Another chance for me to get a point back.
Long story short, I managed it! 5-4! One more victory and we're level! Finally. Martins team couldn't hit a barn door from 3 foot away though, They just refused to shoot! It was crazy, they'd get close to goal, then try and take on the last defender again. Meanwhile, I had a Rachel Yankey-esque girl on my team, who scored a quality brace to give us the victory! Happy days! Girls Football isn't that big over here, but the girls we played with today were quality! Much better than the boys. Shows what you can do when you don't try and beat everyone on the pitch and just do the basic stuff, but well.
After the match ended, we said our goodbyes to the group and headed home. Day over. This heat always leaves me exhausted at the end of the day so I'm going to have an even earlier night, as I'm shattered. Tomorrow, Azilles booked us in for an all day computer workshop, followed by a small session for one of Joes mates, with a visit to the Africa household, for 'Spot Night', where they're having a braai, and want us to come along. Should be good.
