Fun Football Community.

Here in Kigali there is a fun community of people who love to play football. It typically is all guys, but I often go and play as well. We have a team called Muzungu United, which plays about once every two months against local Rwandan or Embassy teams. We also have a drop in league every Wednesday night from 8-10 p.m. where people come from all over Kigali to play small sided games. There are usually people there from many different backgrounds and countries, Lebanon, Russia, Netherlands, Belgium, U.S., Britian to name a few. Many of the people who participate are here working for international businesses, their national embassy, relief organizations, or are missionaries. Just a few weeks ago, Brad and Kiki, who are here working for Youth for Christ held a 3v3 tournament at their house. We picked teams and I was on Kent and Paul's team. Everyone of us was from American, so we joked that we were team America. I think we were third out of the whole tournament. It was a fun day. We played from about 12-5 p.m. Also, the people who were there and invited I have grown to appreciate. They are all just really fun people who just want to have a good time.
