What an amazing experience it was. From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcome and, after a couple of days we acclimatised to the weather!

​

Kokrobite is a friendly and beautiful little village with Milly’s and the beach a favourite of mine. As you walk past all the stalls and shops everyone speaks and says hello!

​

The Learning Centre was something else - as if a classroom from England had been teleported to Africa and landed in Jane & Martial's back garden. A fantastic facility which I enjoyed to use, presenting two football workshops to local teachers and coaches. The highlight of the visit has to be the children. Always happy, never crying, always with a smile on their face. Watching them play and enjoy the centre was brilliant, and it was great to join in and see their games, songs and dances.

​

The main focus of the trip however, was to coach football, and that was a fantastic experience. The football lads were brilliant and the smiles will live with me forever, as well as the dust! They listened, gave 100% and hopefully enjoyed the sessions as much as I did. Presenting them with equipment, balls and shirts will hopefully mean they can continue to enjoy their sport for years to come.

Last but not least, I can’t go without mentioning banana pancakes !! Wonderful, thank you Jane!
