Welling School in Zambia 2011

On July 8th 2011, 10 Students and 4 Staff from Welling School will head for Zambia to coach some of the most underpriveleged children from government schools and orphanages, on how to play the game of Tag Rugby.

The Students have spent the last year raising money to fund the project themselves. Over £20,000 has been raised so far!

As well as coaching the children in Zambia they will also be training the School Staff and leave enough equipment and resources for the schools to continue playing and enjoying the game. Donations can be made using this 'justgiving' link :

Tuesday 12th July - Coaching Day 2

Our second day of coaching and everybody was full of confidence. Our morning session at Zoks was far less chaotic as the whole school wasn't outside waiting for us.

Everything was much more structured and the Welling Team really shone in their coaching roles. This was evident when the Zambian children demonstrated how much they had learnt from the previous session.

The young children who were unable to take part in the sessions were taught the 'Hokey Kokey' by Mrs Killington, who was obviously affected by the rise in temperature.
For the afternoon sessions, both Teams walked cross country to Mount Makubu School, overcoming many obstacles along the way.
Like yesterday, the afternoon sessions were extremely enjoyable, productive and of a high standard.
As you can see from the pictures below, village life continues even when the Welling Team are around.


Today has been another inspiring and fulfilling experience which, in one way or another, is having an affect on us all.
