Project Peace: Frisbee Friends

A few blocks from our house is a "basketball court."  I type that in quotes because, well, it's mostly just a slab of cement with broken basketball hoops lying down on the sidelines and makeshift soccer goals in their place.  It is just outside the neighborhood mosque.  As part of our "Peace Project," we decided to take the frisbee to the "basketball court" and see if we could find any kids.
And we did!  At first they were shy and only watched.  But what kid can resist a frisbee?  So they eventually joined.



When we were done, we said good-bye to them and walked home.  They followed at a distance so they could see where we lived!  Turns out, they live in the kampung (village neighborhood) right next to our neighborhood.  Sometimes they come by our house now and call out for the boys to come play!
