Off he goes - 12 day hike into the mountains, carr Off he goes - 12 day hike into the mountains, carrying all his own clothes and food, and no contact with the outside world. Hopefully he’ll draw down on some of the amazing hiking experiences we’ve had over the years, from #machupicchu, #mtkinabalu and #quilatoaloop .

A great experience for all these boys away from home comforts and electronic distractions.

We finally managed to pull of this event, a month We finally managed to pull of this event, a month late, but it was worth the wait and was a huge success. Football uniting girls from different sides of the track, and proving what a powerful levelling ability it has. 

We were able to donate footballs, toiletries, clothes, books and sanitary products to the @ikasisoccerschool girls on behalf of reddamhouseconstantia and @meadowridge_afc .

A beautiful and impactful talk on mental health and self care by @Nosiphiwo09, was well received by all the girls and proved that whatever their circumstances, these teen girls are all faced with similar hurdles.

Thanks also to @lindy_cohen for the amazing @continent_africa T-Shirts.

Friendships formed on and off the field and this will be the first of many similar events to come.
