Football, the beautiful game: Bringing back our sports ground.

AMAZING WORK EVERYONE! The sports pitch at our local primary school was completely overgrown after a three month Covid-19 lockdown in the village. In some parts shrubs and grasses reached over two meters tall, and the goals on either side were getting tricky to spot.

Now, thanks to a great effort by local football lovers, our pitch is back in use! Small things can make a big difference :)

Our village has a long history of enjoying football, and in our 20 years here, this was by far the worst state the pitch has been in. During normal times we'd cut the grass monthly and our sponsored team would train twice a week. The pandemic brought things to a stand still but hopefully we'll be up and running soon with the pitch looking better than ever!

Thanks to everyone involved! Especially to James Stephen Ha for a generous donation that made this possible!

(IND) KERJAAN LUAR BIASA SEMUANYA! Lapangan olahraga di sekolah dasar lokal kami benar-benar ditumbuhi setelah tiga bulan lockdown Covid-19 di desa. Di beberapa bagian semak dan rerumputan mencapai tinggi lebih dari dua meter, dan gawang sudah semakin sulit untuk dikenali.

Sekarang, berkat usaha keras dari para pecinta sepak bola, lapangan kami bisa kembali digunakan! Hal-hal kecil sepeti lapangan bola yang bagus bisa membuat perbedaan besar :)

Desa kami memiliki sejarah panjang dalam sepak bola, dan dalam 20 tahun kami di sini, ini adalah kondisi lapangan yang paling buruk kita pernah lihat. Selama waktu normal kami memotong rumput setiap bulan dan tim anak-anak berlatih dua kali seminggu. Pandemi membuat segalanya berhenti, tetapi mudah-mudahan kita akan segera bangkit lagi dengan lapangan yang lebih baik dari sebelumnya!

Terima kasih untuk semua yang menggikuti! Terutama kepada James Stephen Ha atas sumbangan yang membantu proses ini!
