Day 2 of the Tournament
On New Years Day we continued the tournament. Saying it was a success would be a great understatement.
Off to Markala
In Markala i met a few more Malians and was bestowed with my Malian name - Seydou
Stade
Several of us, including Yacouba's sons, and some players from the winning teams from the New Years Tournament attended a professional football match. For many of them, it was the first match that they had been to.

Little Eagles receives soccer gear from the US Soccer Foundation
The Little Eagles received a generous donation of soccer gear from the Passback Program sponsored by the US Soccer Foundation. We were given jerseys for all 8 teams as well as numerous pairs of cleats, shin guards, and balls. Many thanks to the Passback program, which you can learn more about at www.passback.org
Little Eagles has the support of Mali Pop Star Habib Koite!
After his show at the Infinity Music Hall in Norfolk, CT, I had a chance to chat with Mali pop star Habib Koite. I shared with him my ideas for the Little Eagles project, and he loved them. He told me about a clinic he does in Mali that teaches children the importance of washing their hands to prevent diseases. If all goes well, Habib will come to visit the Little Eagles in Mali during our season in January-March 2011 to give his clinic!
