So Peyton met these kids the other day who wanted to play soccer with him because he had a ball. So he kicks around with them for a bit, and then the next day I am with him and Byron and Gideon and we see these kids again. They want to play some more, we oblige and the game is on, in the street. I feel like I could hang with them in small spaces. We got to know them a bit, they are all 16 or 17 and a couple speak really good English. Haitham, Mardini, and Ahmed are the ones I remember, also A’arum. Since then we have played soccer everyday and we have moved up a level. Now we play on the concrete court next to our apartments. These kids are really good in space. It’s amazing to see them move so fluidly and naturally with a ball at their feet. They have been playing since they were 6 or 7 years old. Well anyways, I took some pictures when we played yesterday
