The work with the children was again very stressful and it has almost stolen the nerves, but now it's back. Sometimes it is really hard here to help and inform because there's just very, very hot. I've also noticed that we have a much closer relationship with our guys than some other FW in their projects. We are the boys not only trainers, leaders and friends but also role models. Recently they have made in the Library, where homework and other things are offered, a survey of girls and boys, how you be like, if you're after big, and there are many guys said, as Manuel and José. I was very touched and crossed my tears down. Only then did I realize how much influence and responsibility Manuel and me. But apparently we are so good for our guys that they are more disciplined and therefore, as in school. The director put us asked how we do it, because just at our place in the team, the anarchists and the problem children. The new fashion in the slums are home-made tattoos: the guys burn themselves and any signs scratched into the wounds. All the guys that are in our soccer project, we have banned it. We have told them all the more now that can make that fly off the team. And in fact, have all addressed it and no one left to make more new tattoo. Otherwise, we had a tournament that has invited us to a private school. Unfortunately, we have become only the second. The boys were very focused on the day and Manuel and I have to motivate them in the toes.
We were also in the half with 2 goals in front and the guys were fighting in the heat until you drop. But then 8 minutes remaining, scored the first goal of the opponents first then 2 Minutes later the second Score and a minute before the final whistle, the 3 door. My boys
could not believe it and began to give each other the guilt and then the referee. (I must say, though himself that he has refereed worst)
We coach himself had to overcome the shock and disappointment and had to reassure our boys. I think it was an experience for my guys to lose, so even though you have given everything and you just had bad luck.
I was so disappointed that I gave my team a dressing down.
I forced them to go even once to their opponents to give them a hand and congratulate what many did not want too many and fell heavily.
I think sometimes I myself am just too fanatical football and forgetting that it is a social project.
But still running the football project very well, and we can hardly save from children who want to log in to our project. This is it, that even children from richer districts to participate in our soccer project: You will arrive with their parents and parents are wondering how much would cost to log on. It has been well said about what they have for two good coaches Delfines the Wise (the name of our football team). We consider whether we should then leave the children to train with, it would be a perfect cultural exchange: Rich plays with arms in a Club. One can also say that because we have a lot of Haitians in the team. Dominican Haitians play with one team. I think it would be a good thing, they will disappear from friends and the prejudice and racism against Haitians would.
We have to think it over.
Otherwise I must say that I'm now here very much and I do not want to leave really wants. Also, many young or really all that we do not go.
It is certainly a very difficult goodbye.
Regards José
