Six female blind students from Murewa High School Resource
Unit for the Blind will be the first ever group to represent Zimbabwe at next
year's international women’s blind football camp and games in Japan.
The girls have managed to raise the necessary funds to head
to Japan. They had set a target of $5 000 to be raised by November 11. They
managed to raise close to $3 000 in 44 days, enough to confirm participation.
The girls will engage in two days training of learning the
rules and basic techniques for blind football, followed by joining the World
select team that is compromised of players from other countries to face the
Japanese National Team in a match, with 1,000 spectators expected. The final
day will include a cultural exchange programme to learn about Japanese culture.
Accompanying the students are their stalwart teachers, Theresea (second end

workshop in April at the University of Zimbabwe in Harare.
