On July 11th, I went soccer with the other fellow classmates, namely AbduRahman and Natalie. It resulted in good wholesome quality fun. Unfortunately, no one from the neighboring communites wanted to join us. As a result, Natalie and I thought it would be a clever and smart idea to create a sign that was multilingual such that individuals would be less shy and join the game. This hypothesis will be tested this coming Sunday when we return to the field in, what I hope is, an epic match. In the meantime, we are looking for a better soccer ball, that is around official size and fully inflated. If a soccer pump can be donated that would be also useful, because since the ball is deflated it does a poor job curving. There are some soccer balls that have a built-in pumps, which would be ulimately useful. On a side note, I felt that the Abbey Court, building E was very troublesome to find. It took me roughly 15-20 minutes to find the E buiding once I was in Abbey court, which may or may not be an issue for others. I feel that there should be signs at the front gate indicating that a human rights center does exist and is fairly easy to find. With no sign, the huamn rights center does not get the full coverage that it deserves. What are your opinions on such things?

I definitely think a sign would be beneficial and make the center more well-known and credible in the community. Maybe one as soon as you turn in that says "Chapel Hill and Carrboro Human Rights Center: E8" and an arrow pointing that way. I took a picture of the building when I was there to play soccer today, and I will post it on the Facebook group so people have a little better idea of which building it is.
