Photo-A-Week #14: Soccer Dreams

August 15, 2012

Children love to play regardless of where they are. This time when we visited Zambia, we stayed in a rural area surrounded by pig shelters, farms, and woodlands. Despite the uneven terrain, the lack of proper equipment and sportswear, and a very worn and under-inflated soccer ball, the children still played with all their hearts and might. Their level of joy and enthusiasm were not affected by such poor circumstances in any way.

I finally found an opportunity to take a closer picture of them together when they finished playing after sunset. From the photo, can you see the soccer dreams in their eyes?

小孩子愛玩。有好的設施,玩得安全又開心;沒有好的環境、 原來也不減樂趣。 今次贊比亞之行我們住在鄉村, 隔鄰就是豬屋, 門前就是禾田,屋後就是叢林,好像沒有活動的地方,然而村中孩子們就在阡陌小路間和屋前小空地追逐, 踢球。

泥地高低不好跑,沒有龍門、 沒有球衣、 沒有運動鞋、 沒有教練、 就連足球也沒有彈力,只是看起來像足球,(因為我也有試踢一下), 但他們玩得開心,認真, 盡力顯身手, 直玩到日落才停下來,讓我有機會為他們照相。 從他們的眼神,你可看到他們的足球夢?
