My favourite sport is sailing. I like practising it in summer. I go to my grandmother’s house near the sea
and my sister and I catch the grandma's small boat and we go far away from the beach. I enjoyed
sailing because when I sail at the water, we can see different coloured fish, corals, turtles and
seahorses.
I also like rollerblading and cycling. I am in a club called "Wheels Club" and we ride our bikes or
rollerblades every weekend. Before we talk about trips it is very important to talk about safety and the
rules for rollerblading and cycling.
- We use elbow and knee pads for rollerblades. They protect you if you fall.
- When you ride, don’t use the MP3 player because you can’t hear and it can be dangerous.
- We wear shorts or tight trousers when we ride our bikes.
- When we are in the street, we go one behind the other. We never ride or skate side by side.
- We always follow the traffic rules when we ride or skate in the street.
If you follow all these rules, you are safe and you have a good time.

Today, on a dusty pitch in the village of Sokoke, 22 girls are playing in a training session, half in blue shirts, and
half in red ones. Many are barefoot. The weather is very hot but the girls are constantly in motion.
But these girls are learning a lot more than just how to pass, kick and score; they are learning how to think in
new ways, ways that are unusual for young women in this part of the world.
"It is about a teenage girl realizing her goals in life, making her own decisions, including sexual decisions,"
Margaret Belewa, program manager of the Moving the Goalposts project, said. "Most of the times, those
decisions are made by the parents or by the husband. How can we help her so that she can take control of her
life?"
Moving the Goalposts (MTG) aims to empower girls and young women in Kilifi, one of the poorest districts in
Kenya, through football.
