Hal Far Football Tournament
As part of the activities for World Refugee Day, UNHCR and JRS co-hosted a football tournament for the residents of Hal Far Open Centre, where there are both barracks and a tent village for immigrants.
Representatives from JRS, UNHCR, and the German Embassy--they donated the Puma jerseys that the players are wearing.
UNHCR people had fancy blue hats. My plan to have the JRS team show up in matching vests did not materialize.
Right after this the player in white got a yellow card.
A not-so-great shot of the tent village that I got right before we left on the bus.

That would have been amazing if you coordinated matching vests!!! It would have made it much easier for me to identify which group you are a part of, lol! I love the pictures, keep em' coming. I can't believe you're on your last week in Malta, I feel like you just left. It seems like an amazing experience, esp the UNHCR visit, quite jealous! Enjoy your travels and your next adventure in Malta, can't wait to see pics and hear about all the fun you're having!!
