Sport changing lives in Africa and beyond Derek Keir can pinpoint the moment when he realised the potential of his aspirations. Sitting surrounded by a group of troubled young men from Stirling, the 26-year-old watched, transfixed, as they held hands and chanted African songs. |

The Bath Half Marathon which took place on the 16th March brought together thousands of people from all over the UK who set themselves a huge challenge of running for 13 miles around Bath. Despite the one hour delay, poor weather and wet faces, I completed the marathon in 2 hours and 5 minutes non stop, which was an overwhelming and surprising personal achievement!

I thought it was about time to introduce myself to the Friend of EduSport website. As a little bit of background, I first visited Chawama in 2007 to work as part of the IDEALS programme and loved every minute of it. The generosity and support I received from Sharon Museke, Justin Lungu and jack Malambo was simply incredible. The memories I returned with and the experience I had made me want to contribute further and hence my involvement with Friend of EduSport. I’ve been rounding up sponsors for the peer leaders as I’ve seen first hand the work they do providing sport in their communities for the younger children. |

Thanks to all those who bought our 'Poverty Preventing Presents', we have managed to purchase 5 footballs and 1 netball for communities in Lusaka. Also a set of workbooks were donated which will be given to Bauleni United Football Team to ensure they put a high priority on their studies as well as their sport.
It has been a tremendous start to the New Year for us with 3 new sponsors coming on board. 3 young people from Bauleni are set to start school with their friends when the new term starts in the coming weeks. Nisha and Susan will return to school following successful sponsorship by Moira from Scotland.

A big thank you to all the staff at Grangemouth Job Centre who gave generously when they opted to give a donation to Friend of EduSport rather than send Christmas Cards to other office staff. The effort was directed by Joyce Campbell, supporter of Friend of EduSport. A Christmas Hamper was also put together and raffled with Jacequline Neill and Evelyn Tinto being the lucky winners on 20th December.
