Matenje's football and netball teams, and fans, pile into a matola on our trip to Mvera for a match. After a 3 hour ride, we found out that there was a bad auto accident in the area, so the game was cancelled due to a funeral. This image is typically how an organized group of people get around. We've seen truck loads of choirs going to partner churches for competition, also. It is a social event for cheering, singing, and posturing. Though the match was cancelled, students still had fun, even when the rains came and drenched them. Afterwards they had a dance in one of the classrooms, with electronics playing music powered by a car battery. When it comes to field trips and flirting, kids are kids no matter where you go.
