Football Coaches come to Nyirbeltek in Hungary for football and fun August 2009 There
were 7 in our team,
going on this football
mission.
Thelma Lynch, Holyhead,
Kizzy Price (my Grand
daughter),Pastor Liz
Boote Chester, Melanie
Price, Michael from
London, Paul Perris from
London, and Marc Edwards
from Wales
It had been planned for
3 years that Michael and
his friends would come
out to Hungary, to teach
the poor children in the
villages the basics of
English
Football. They might as
well have been 3 David
Beckhams, because the
children in all the
villages were just so
excited and expectant.
They got more then they
bargained for and so did
we. They turned out in
their 100s and some of
the children only wore
flip-flops and
underpants.
Fortunately we had football shirts and football trainers and boots provided kindly by A Ray of Hope. The children queued up patiently waiting to see if we had their size. So much fun was had by the trainers and coaches alike that the children did not want them to leave after the two weeks was up.
Black Rock FC, has now attached itself to Nyirbeltek FC, Hungary, and they will return next year again with more coaches, footballs and football strips. The villages and Communities alike were united together in fun, and laughter through football, of course all the lovely girls came along to urge their teams on. This is a perfect example of how we can bring inclusion, and unity by Sport, and fun. The coaches themselves had never experienced such a great feeling of achievement, and a wonderful winning time was had by all. Kizzy, my Grand daughter got on well with all the young ladies, and she shared her life with them and counselled them about some personal issues, and heard of their very difficult lives. Kizzy cried..............Kizzy made some beautiful new friends, and promised to keep in touch and return next year.
Our aim is always to
feed the poor, and bring
relief to the needy, and
to make friends and
unite communities with
LOVE, and UNDERSTANDING.
Guess what, IT
WORKS..........
We visited Bag, and gave
out gifts for the
children, for once they
all looked well, and
happy. The children,
some naked enjoyed the
warm Summer Sun.
In Hadjunannas, we found
our friends who had been
evicted from their
homes, to see them
happily re-housed in a
block of flats, and they
had been given jobs as
road sweepers, and
chilli pickers. We
sought them out in the
town by blowing the
Shofar, the children
heard the sound of our
instrument and came
running, shouting
Melanini, Lizzini, and
we went to their new
homes to hear what
happened after we had
sent in the Racial
Equality men from
Budapest......guess
what...ha ha ha happy
ending
Sadly to say while we
were in Nyirbeltek
enjoying each others
company, some Nazi
skinheads came into
Kissletta, the next
village and shot DEAD, a
Mother in front of her 2
children, and then
sliced the children up
with knives, we were
devastated, and couldn't
believe that this could
happen in 2009. One of
our men went to the
funeral the following
week and said it was
more then he could bare.
This has been happen on
a regular basis, as
organised gangs come in
the night to bring DEATH
and Destruction. 8 in
Nyirbator, 5 In
Hadjunanas. We are
doing something to
change prejudices and
negative attitudes to
save lives.
Not to end on a gruesome
note, but we are making
IMPACT, by understanding
and befriending the
loveless, homeless, and
underprivileged.
We are going back on
September 21, wit more
LOVE, JOY and HAPPIY
TIMES.
Sunflowers Growing very
well...thank you to all
who help and who care
