Monday 29th June : First day of Tag Rugby Coaching

First day of coaching begins, after a heavy downfall of rain through the night which woke up most people, we were all ready for eggs on toast at 7:00am and Robert was ready and filming his blog by half past. By half 8 we had all set off in our 4 groups to our first school, nerves and excitement filled the bus however it was laughed off when the bus broke down in the road, which didn't please Mike at all but everyone else had a laugh out of it, especially Mr brown and Mr Loizou. The better bus turned up and rescued us from the side of the road, which then eventually took us to our schools to start the training.

We came across a few dilemmas when visiting the schools like Sams group not being able to visit their second school meaning they had to wait 3 hours for the rest of us to return. Also, Christians group began to walk into their schools without their kit which I think they would of struggled without, however it was a brilliant first day and we all quickly became engaged. After we finished with both schools we travelled  back to Jinja backpackers with tanned faces and sweaty tops ready for a shower, but on our travels home we picked up each group and when James and Chris group waited in the van for Aaron's group they heard a stampede of children running. They made their way to the van and surrounded them. Jazmine and Chris opened their windows to say hello and nearly ended outside on the floor, the kids jumped and pulled their hands and arms in excitement. When we got back Sam, Brandon, Scott and Mollie had been sitting for hours playing with cards waiting for the rest of the group, we had all reunited and spoke about our day. 

Now everyone is showered and changed sitting around waiting for food, the boys are arm wrestling but Jasmine got involved for the girls. Robert showed his muscles and Mollie had found 3 new loves......the dogs!
