the photos might be a bit deceiving, and it may look like we are actually having fun playing futbol, which we kinda are...well i guess i should say this first. from the moment we began working with these kids it was t-r-o-u-b-l-e. severe ADHD is only one way to describe them, but throw in an irish accent, a sailor's vocabulary, and desire to punch others as a regular form of communicating.
needless to say...i was thinking. this might be the longest 2 hours of my life. God, why are we here? the kids don't care, they don't respect me, i've been cussed at, sharp objects have been thrown at my face, and i had to play futbol in flipflops...
we left leaving the centre feeling defeated, frustrated, and just plain exhausted emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
don't fret...things have a way of working themselves out. more to come.
