It has been so much fun to play soccer with everyone here in Nepal!!! I just love how everywhere you look, a little pick-up game is going on and every little boy has on a Messi, Real Madrid or Chelsea jersey. I have always loved soccer but these children, so desperate to play every chance they get, are fueling my passion for the sport. "Miss! Will you come and play futbol with us?" Is my favorite thing to hear. I noticed that it is always the boys who are playing and it made me sad that none of the girls got out there. I decided along with Lobsang, the manager of Kailash Hostel, to get the girls practicing then organize a special outing to Futsal, one of the small turf soccer arenas recently set up around Kathmandu. It was so great to get the girls out there and I think it was a success! I cant wait to play more soccer with them before I leave!
