Thank you for waiting until we could get the Internet working here in South Africa. It is slower than Ethiopia, and it takes hours to upload these videos. Here are the first videos in the Beyond The Game series, as we take you from the airport to the soccer match.

Amidst all the excitement on the ground, it is easy to get caught up in the games, and forget the horrors facing children. These first three videos take you from our plane landing in Nelspruit, and into the manic cheering of the Chile-Honduras match.
