As the day went by and all our hard work coming together perfectly, it was time for a little enjoyment! We had decided to play a football match with all the children. This had brought smiles to the locals face as some of them were waiting just to show us their skill! We split the teams up and off we went. It was a hot summers day with the sun directly over our heads but this didn't play a factor and the young and talented victor robbed Serg of the ball and put it in the back of the net to make the game 1-0!

Team Rodi was taken by surprise, as we had just started the game. However the game carried on and the scores kept going back and forth, until Lauren stepped up and shocked us all with a brilliant header towards the top corner of the net! She shocked by her brilliant goal! Once that went in team P Gomez was put under a lot of pressure and went down two goals. At half time it was 7-5! Now it was crunch time as it was the second half and Ike running out, Hannah made a great run passing the midfield and passed a ball that split the defense wide open which was finished by Taylor to make it a level game!

This was now time for victor, he took the game to us with his great dribbling and wonderful runs to make the game 9-7! With one goal left for team P Gomez to win Team Rodi pushed everyone forward to try and get back into the game. However the team lost the ball and victor was off again, but this time he passed it to his sister and she had gotten the winning goal of the game! The joy and excitement that came out of the children after they won the game was simply one of the best things I've seen in my life. The amount of joy that our actions of cleaning up their equipment and making it a better place for them to live was amazing. They were so grateful, this is why we put all our efforts in that day. It was to bring this joy and excitement to their community. We had the pleasure and honor of going to a local orphanage and really give back to the community in Chile. Seeing the joy and happiness on their faces was something I will keep in our hearts forever.
