SPORTS TRAINING AT THE BIG TREE TRAINING CENTER ZANZIBAR

June 1st 2016. I have found on-field connections with participants regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or social status. This is an amazing experience and I was happy to share it with the Big Tree Training Center, Zanzibar, Tanzania.

First of all I would like to thank Michael Johnson Positive Track for a lifetime training in Dallas Texas. I've learned so many things on how sports can be used as a tool to affect our communities positively.

 I was able to coach children different games and address special issues such as; Child rights (freedom of expression, right to information, right to be safe and right to information and responsibility to the community), gender equality + female empowerment (ASK for CHOICE) and sport skills (Problem solving).

I taught them different games such as;

INDONESIA FOR SKILLS

Theme: Conflict resolution, skills and problem solving

NDIA FOR KNOWLEDGE

Theme: Women and girl's rights

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

THEME: Use your voice = Confidence

LIVERPOOL VS MANCHESTER UNITED LINES GAME

THEME: Solving problems as a team

UNDERSTANDING VIOLENCE AND EXPLOITATION

THEME: PROTECTION

INDONESIA FOR KNOWLEDGE

Theme: Staying healthy

Discussing about Sexual and Reproductive Health and good choices to protect oneself against HIV/AIDS.

WARM UPS

- Running around corns (SPEED)

- Passing the ball backwards (MULTI DIRECTION QUICKNESS)

At the end of the training they have learned sport skills including speed, readiness and multi direction quickness, child rights, problem solving, patience etc.
I'm so excited about my upcoming trainings in different schools here in Zanzibar.
