On his recent visit our newest trustee David Ward and his wife Katie went to see how the Light of Hope’s sports teams are getting on and what a difference VisionZambia is making to their lives.

John introduced us to the managers of the football team and the netball team and we drove to a local town, picked up some girls and bought them back to Linda to play a friendly football match. After the Linda team won 2:0, we chatted with the players about their experiences.

Esther says:
“I enjoy playing football because it keeps me fit and I can’t be moving around the football doing nothing. We have won all the games, apart from four which we drew.”

Diana says:

“Thank you very much to Vision Zambia for being with us because without you we would not be where we are now. We really appreciate it.”

“I feel good when I play football. I play no 8 as a striker/supplier. I like this team because I started here. I am very thankful to Fulham Football club because of the jersey. One day I hope Fulham will come to Linda and watch us play and pick some of the team to play in the UK.

Kabaya who is 20 reports: “We have played 15 games and we are winning. We need a bus. I wish there will be more football teams playing here.”
