Torneo de Fútbol

The football tournament that Tom and I decided to initiate took place on Saturday. As usual, it was a hot and sunny day in Arequipa. All of the TNT volunteers, some of the children from Flora Tristan school and some local people attended.


The tournament took place at a local 'cancha'. Opposite the football pitches was a grassy area where we set up the TNT stall and the food, drink and ice cream stands. Here people could purchase these items or just sit in the shade and watch the proceedings.


Apart from one leg injury, the children had a great time. In addition, we generated local awareness of the charity and also built up relations with a local hostel to help promote the work that the charity is doing. 


Thank you once again to all who contributed to our fundraising back in England, to help this tournament happen.
