\n\tLee on another days schools coaching in Huye.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tToday had a rather inauspicious start when at our first school of the day we were informed that the pupils would not be available that morning as they were sitting exams. Even for such a die hard cricket fan as myself this seems a perfectly logical stance, the strange thing being they didn't seem to know yesterday that this exam was taking place when we confirmed with the headmaster.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis unexpected downtime allowed us to spend an hour at the National Museum based here in Huye. While we took in the history of early Rwanda our ambassador Audi was busy on the phone trying to locate another school. As is always the case this is never very hard to do, and we were soon on the road back to Autonome Primary school where 60 children were ready and waiting on the field.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis was just the start as without a break we then visited two more schools with numbers increasing each time, culminating in a chaotic last session with over 250 kids involved in five highly competitive games of “crossfire”.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis tipped us over the 4,000 mark in terms of children coached and I cannot thank this short handed team enough for their efforts, we have one more full day of coaching ahead and then only the festival on Friday before we can hopefully take a day off and reflect on a job well done.\n<\/p>\n
