Cape Town 2015 for Arsenal in the Community: Day 19

Monday's were supposed to be our days off but as the Saturday league hasn't started we had Saturday off and were asked to come in today. There wasn't much for us to do we were just asked to hang around and help people if they needed anything. It was a quiet Monday morning and the centre was quite empty, we started helping someone with their CV, she was a young single mother, looking for work, we had seen her about a few times and we spent some time altering her CV with her, best of luck to her with the job hunt.

Joe called me over and asked me to upload some of the pictures from the last few weeks, the internet was going quite slow so this took a bit longer than expected but there were some nice photos. I'll post some at the end of the blog. I had to sort through some as well as Jodi had managed to take over 200 photos from the session at her school. While they were uploading Harry spent time helping a local businessman with his invoices and other bits. Joe then called us over to go and meet the owner of the local shop who will be supplying some goods for the tournament we are organising. A very friendly man who was really into his football and supports Charlton, bit of a random club wasn't really expecting that but he has followed them for years apparently. We then went back to the centre and were introduced to 3 psychology students that are going to be working at the centre on a Monday teaching basic computer skills, we both said that we might stop by and look in when their sessions start.

Our last task for the day was to sign a few bits for the kids we will be coaching tomorrow, we are going to be spending just over an hour with 5 terminally ill kids. I'll tell you a bit more about it tomorrow when I know a little bit more. Looking forward to the session though as we are told they are excited to see us and our appearance will mean a lot. So hopefully we can make the day special for them.
