Later in the afternoon, Nico and I leave the resort and walk into the nearby village. A group of about 30 boys are playing soccer and Nico decides he would like to join them. As he approaches the group they literally surround him staring at his missing leg and unusual crutches. Undaunted, he manages to communicate his desire to join them in the soccer game (more of a 5v5 tournament actually) and despite the fact that none of them speak English, he is out on the field in a matter of minutes.
