Awa buddy, this one is for you....

On our last day in Mumbai, I had bought a ball for Goa and we were kicking it around on a side street because we had heaps of time before our train that night. As we were playing a street kid came up to us and told us he wanted to show us where he plays. At first we were cautions because he wanted to take us behind a barbed wire fence had that had been broken to make a pathway into what was his home, however we followed him eventually. His extended family lived in a a couple of houses made out of tarpaulins and cardboard etc. He led us through this tiny little group of tents and brought us to this massive stadium. Next to the stadium there was a couple 5 aside pitches with nets and small goals with local boys playing, I couldn't help think  how much you would've loved it... We've organised to meet him back there the day before we fly out and play a game with him and his brother. 

Miss you buddy... Jake
