Safe and sound

We have arrived and felt the dust of Tanzania between our toes. Led by our man in Dar, Ian Thomas, a few hardy players set off for a light run this evening, taking in the spectacular views from the Peninsular and the welcome breeze from the Indian Ocean.

We safely met Harry Martin (recently arrived from HELM's operation in Bangladesh) in Dubai and, after a 'flase start' with landing (caused by an errant flap on the aircraft), arrived to endure the chaos of the visa collection desk in the Dar airport.

More astonishingly the 50 kilos of kit sponsored by HELM was first off the plane on to the luggage belt and was waiting for us in the hall.

The travelling players and coaches are safely installed in our hotel, have had a first dinner and are raring to get into the Coaching sessions which begin with local school children tomorrow afternoon.

The Justgiving pages are up and running - every pound makes a difference.
