What a week! I have to admit, this has been the most incredible week in Uganda so far. In case you didn't see my excited tweets and posts over the past month, this past week has been Soccer Without Borders Uganda's Third Annual Youth Festival. The SWB staff have been planning this HUGE event for over two months, and it was so amazing to see it all put in place. I could sit here all day and talk about what we did each day, but I'd rather just leave you with a few pictures. One thing I did notice this week was that our participants were happier than I've EVER seen them. I knew they were going to be happy and have a great time, but this was over the top. This was constant hugs, constant smiles, and constant LOVE! I can't count the number of hugs I was given or smiles I have seen this week. The kids were happy to be in their new SWB home, with friends, and with coaches that truly care about them. Our local coaching staff were amazing each day, as were our 5 volunteers from the U.S. God was present this week in more ways than I can count, and despite rain showers, more kids than we thought we could handle, and limited resources, this was a week I will remember forever. So thankful to be a part of SWB and the Third Annual Youth Festival!
Here are a few of my favorite faces of the festival. So many smiles!
