Goal ball

Back in Action: For the past few days I have been sharing my home with nine others and they are busy learning about our lives and ministries. My team leaders have completely filled their schedule with amazing and thought provoking experiences.
So this morning Francis travelled to my house from the village. He was an LRA child soldier and he came to share his amazing story - of war, rescue, and the love of God. He was delighted to receive a Bible from the group.
Then in the afternoon we went to visit some of the local blind neighbours. They spoke to us about the work that they are doing - knitting, orchards, independence skill training, etc. After an hour of talking to them at their place, we invited six of the blind to come over and play Goal ball.

Three people lined up on each side of the rectangle and through a beeping ball at eachother.

If the one side could get the ball past the people on the other side, then a point was scored.

Those of us who could see were blind folded and it made for a very interesting game.

  1. I'm going to have to try this. Sounds fun. Kind of like playing blind Volleyball. Only then nobody is blindfolded
