Laundry? What laundry?

If you look very closely you will see a girl in the background pumping water and several others doing laundry....

But not these two! They're obviously focused on football (soccer) as the preferred way to spend a Saturday morning.  Judging by the joy on their faces no one is going to take that ball away... And no one should.

We take PLAY for granted. We know it's essential and normal for all children. Yet in the villages of South Sudan girls have neither time nor opportunity to play. In fact, St Bakhita Girls' School is the only place in South Sudan where I've ever seen girls playing.  Good for them! Literally.
