In case you\u2019re not up to speed on your Kinyirwandan, Agapira Hasse means \u2018put the tennis ball down\u2019. It is without a doubt the most useful phrase I\u2019ve picked up so far and possibly in my entire life.<\/p>\n

\"image\"Day four began with the team splitting into two. Me, Greg, Jono, Eric and Landry went to GS Gahini to teach two groups from the senior school. It\u2019s fair to say the first group weren\u2019t the most lively and energetic group that we\u2019ve taught but there were some talented cricketers present.
\nThe second group were slightly younger and really got stuck into a game of rapid fire. Most pleasing of all were the questions they asked us during the wrap up, they had so many things they wanted to ask us about HIV\/AIDS and the quality of the questions meant our session overran slightly but it was great that we were able to provide so much information<\/p>\n

After a brief stop for lunch we were off to what we have affectionately named \u2018Scrabble School\u2019 because its name contains so many letters and is unpronounceable to anyone who isn\u2019t Rwandan. This time we were teaching primary school children so the enthusiasm levels were up to eleven and we had a great couple of hours taking them through relays and the volume they were chanting their A B C\u2019s at by the end of the session was near deafening.<\/p>\n

For our final session of a very long day we stayed at the same school whilst the rest of the gang joined us and we coached students from the local university. Those who had played cricket before had a game of pairs with Jono, Greg, Lee, Landry and Jackson. The rest played rapid fire. Eric was in charge and very kindly nominated Lesley and I to play two games in baking heat. I\u2019m pleased to say that my team (team Condom) won both games and that my stunning one handed catch was much admired by my team mates.<\/p>\n

All in all an exhausting day but one with a huge amount of fun and variety. We showed today the range of ages that CWB can work with and the ability that we have to tailor our message for the different age groups is one of the things that makes it so effective.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is our last day in Kayonza. The whole team has had a great time here and I think we\u2019ve all put a real shift in, ably assisted by the local coaches who have been fantastic. We are holding a festival in the morning which all the schools we\u2019ve been to this week have been invited to and then I\u2019m reliably informed we have the afternoon off. Watch this space people.<\/p>\n
