E.I.S. Sports Day

This year, the E.I.S. Sports Day was linked with the Stride for Truce/Peace Project, the aim of which is to mobilise youths globally for the Olympic ideals of building a more peaceful world.

Under clement skies in the heart of Cotonou's rainy season, our children competed in fun races and games, sporting their 'Stride for Peace' t-shirts in the colours of their houses: Einstein, Newton and Mandela.

We marked the start of the event by striding and then jogging around the field 3 times.

Even our youngest ones in Playschool were able to keep pace for the sake of peace!  A grand time was had by all.
