It's exactly one month and three days after the East Africa Cup held in Moshi Tanzania, on 27th June 2009 was the day that most of the participants were waiting.
So many came with hope and faith to clinch the coveted titles, battle lines were drawn but only two managed to reach to finals in each age category. The most exciting, hard fought game was that of the under 16 finals, we witnessed how the players fought up to their last breath with supporters on the touchlines shouting, cheering and dancing their teams.
This was as a sign of encouragement to keep on fighting but only one team clinched the trophy.
Before the finals the finalists were very busy as participants attended various seminars, and built their skills.
The Kicking AIDS Out resource team played a vital role through out the tournament. They prepared the participants to keep on fighting, shouting and cheering in the fight against AIDS.
Literally when we see youths living a positive and healthy life, transformed communities living a HIV free generation, sports contributing to healthy lives and youths from all religions and backgrounds benefiting from the diverse sports they venture in, then we will dance forever.
We still have a lot to do, let's keep on asking ourselves this question," fter East Africa Cup, are still happy are we still cheering and are we still shouting?", if not there must be something wrong. Let's keep on kicking and definitely we will hear shouts and be cheered. Keep up the spirit.
