 Yesterday we took a field trip on a dirt bumby road to Mbopha and Somfula High Schools. Its beautiful driving along the valleys of Mansiya and crossing rivers with low level bridge. The journey becomes an adventure. The interesting part about the two school is that they compete in everthying , can be sports, academic results, etc.

Both schools have interesting reading about them . Mbopha high school was named after Mbopha kaSithayi the aide of the Great King Shaka , the founder of the Zulu nation, and so is Somfula high was named after the Chief of Hlabisa clan who was the initiator of the Somfula high school.

 During the weekend we took a field trip to ward 5, a rural community up in the mountains east of Hluhluwe Town. Our venue was Ezibayeni soccer field to meet the youth of the ward. Some have walked up to 5 miles to get to the venue to receive  soccer boots. Soccer is the most popular sport in the area; this is one event that brings a lot of youth together

Ncwabakazi learners showing their boots

Esibhojeni is located west of Hluhluwe Town. This area is known for the warmth and hospitality of its people. Football is part of the everyday life of most children. When it rains they  play, when they are hungry they play and when they are happy they play football. Many of the Sibhojeni  children dream to become better people tomorrow. When learners of Ncwabakazi and Khongela received the soccer boots, it was a dream come true.  Learners were waiting since the morning looking forward to getting shoes.  “I will wear my shoes everyday not just for soccer but also for  coming to school '' said one of the learners. “Ngiyabonga kakhulu!!!!!!!!!!” thank you very much in IsiZulu.

This schools are in deep rural and remote areas of this region , the area is very dry and difficult to access . The boots has brought more life to the learners and it is very exciting.
