On Tuesday,\n14th<\/sup> of May, the three primary schools of Vrontados competed against\neach other in a self-organized sports tournament taking place at the stadium\nnext to the first primary school. In weeks of preparation ahead, the sports teachers\nformed a team (or in case of Agios Georgios two, as it is the biggest school of\nthe village) in the sports soccer, volleyball and basketball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the\nfirst time the three schools competed against each other and you could really\nsee the excitement on the children\u2019s faces. The younger students supported\ntheir teams with banners and you could hear them cheering far away. The third primary school of Vrontados even had their own little\ncheerleader group out of girls from fourth grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role of\nus volunteers was to put the whole event on record by taking pictures, and one\nof us was even allowed to function as coach for the soccer team, as the P.E.\nteacher was busy being the referee for the volleyball game. But of course, we\nalso did our best to support our schools, as it also became a little\ncompetition between us volunteers, whose school would win the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what\nwere the results? And who of us volunteers could celebrate with the children?\nThe answer is, all of us. The third primary\n school of Vrontados\nwon the basketball competition, the second primary school the volleyball\ncontest and one of the teams of the first primary school the football\ntournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was great to see all of the children playing together and having fun, as we volunteers don\u2019t only know the children from \u2018our\u2019 schools, but also from the other schools as we met some of them during the summer activities, and of course from the stories of each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
