Today is Martyrs Day - but that's as far as my knowledge goes, apart from to say that it is a bank holiday! And bank holiday means no classes and so the volunteers organised a sports day for the students. They have sport maybe once a week but there is no formal sports day and so a new concept for them all.

The main event was a 3 aside football world cup to get them in the spirit for the real thing which will be huge out here! Then they had to get a time for sprinting 100m, doing the sack race and three legged race and then record their furthest throw and furthest hit of a softball.

The students had a great time, and the staff for that matter, but by the end of the day there were quite a few ripped school skirts (not the most practical item of clothes to run the 100m in!).

Great action shots...especially the one of the guy hitting the ball. By the looks on their faces they had a blast!
