Hello Fellow Classmates,
Last Sunday, I visited Abbey court once again to play some fun soccer with the local community members. This game was extremely entertaining because we saw a multi-generational involvement. Whether it was from people playing the game with us, or on lookers, to those who started a game of their own. This community development and building helped us all see the impact we had as individuals, even if it was just from our presence. More individuals were happy to try to things and challenge themselves because other individuals were investing their time and energy in somebody else's life. As one of the fellow players mentioned, the 12 year old girl, upon the end of the game mentioned she had more confidence to join her school's soccer team. This was something she was not comfortable joining, but with our 1 hour presence, it brightened her prospects. Who knows where she may be in the future, but if we can plant a seed in someone's heart and encourage them to look after it, we have just cultivated a flower, one extra, much needed flower in society.
