One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Morroco, 2 years ago, while moving from Atlas Desert to the Medina in Fez, me and a group of friends had to do a "pit stop" on a little auto-sustainable village because of technical problems with our car. We drunk some tea on a small shop in the village and some kids came to ask us if they could play with our football (that was visible from outside the vehicle).
When we started playing, I could notice that kids from all over the village we're joining us and, just like that, we we're a total of 20 or 30 playing with only one ball.

When we we're leaving, I decided to give the ball to one of the kids. He looked confused and denied the offer. I insisted. The kid started running and all the others after him. Me and my friends we're perplexed with what was happening, they started fighting REALLY hard, until an old guy took the ball from them, slapped one on the face and gave the ball back to us. He then told us to leave.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm currently taking a master degree Web Project design and Web 2.0. I'm open to teach and learn anything from any artistic area!
