Purchase three football balls for ADPP
During my time in Spain to extend my visa, I bought 3 football balls and 2 air pumps for ADPP Lucala. As you know, I don’t have still students in the school, but I share the space with other project; Teachers Training College (TTC)
The TTC students play football 3-4 times per week and if I have time, I usually join them. Til now, we had one plastic football ball, in very bad conditions which lost air so often. To swell it, they had to go to the closest petrol station, which is 2km far from the school.
Due to get air pumps and football balls in Angola is not so easy, expensive and made of bad materials, I decided to bring them from Spain.
I spent in total 69 euros, 20eu per ball and 4.5eu per air pump.

4 football balls and one air pump have been bought for Childrens Town. These 4 balls, join other 3 balls we had. We also have invested in an air pump, so always we had to put them air out of the school (in petrol stations), or they disapear misteriously.
We keep the material in the Instructors house, and when the children need it, they can come and take it

Building works in Children’s Town football field
Por Juan Sevilla Sevilla - English, Mozambique - 15 junio 2010
At the end of May, we started some improvements in Children’s Town football field. Due to the small dimensions of the field (55mx20m) and its bad conditions (full of holes, grass and stones) we considered it was appropriate to make some modifications in order we can enjoy football in better conditions.
The improvements were:
- Increase of field dimensions (90×35)
- Cut the grass
- Take stones away from the field
- Level the field with sand
- Put a new goal (made of wood but with standard dimensions). The other is made of aluminum
- Mark areas, midfield
These works were made by both teams, male and female team. The only cost was to buy and transport 4 tracks full of sand. It cost 10000 meticais (about 250 euros).
Official presentation of Mapulene F.C.
Por Joan Grau - English, Mozambique - 19 mayo 2010
Next Saturday 22th May, there will be a dinner during which the male and female Mapulene FC will be presented to all the community and its leaders. Both teams are made up by children from Children’s Town and from the community too. The members of them are about 20 children who know among them from childhood.
Our intention is to find neighbor and storekeeper supports in order we can afford transport cost. At this moment, this cost is being paid from donations. However, we want to involve the community in this project and assure its continuity.
We would also like to inform you that the sport clothes that Real Jaén CF, AE Prat and CF Ulldecona have sent, it is estimated to arrive at Beira on 1st June.
I will go to pick it up.
Purchase of 15 football boots
Por Joan Grau - English, Mozambique - 17 mayo 2010
5800 MT (about 145€) were invested in 15 pairs of football boots for children who make up Children’s Town football team. Only 5 from all the 20 children in the team had the appropriate footwear. The rest of children played barefoot.
After trying to participate in several competitions in Maputo area and being rejected for this same reason all the time, we decided to give priority to this matter.
From now on, we will have many facilities to play in other cities and several competitions.
