Lindsay Brown is in the house!

I just want to give a warm welcome to Lindsay Brown who is visiting Kopila Valley for the next few weeks.  We feel so fortunate to have an NCAA Champ from the Notre Dame Women's Soccer Team on our hands and playing soccer with us.  Here's a picture from soccer practice yesterday.  Lindsay says the girls have decided their team name is going to be "The Sagarmatha," the Nepalese name for Mt. Everest!  Thanks to Lindsay, She's the First, and the entire Notre Dame Women's team for your support this year.  We are your number one fans!

For both boys and girls at Kopila:

Italian language:

Calcio è

Calcio è
innamorarsi
di un prato quattro legni ed una sfera

è perdersi
per un vessillo un colore una bandiera

Calcio è
sussulto
per un fischio una pedata un ciuffo d'erba

è sgomento
per un fischio una pedata un ciuffo d'erba

Calcio
è scoprirsi in tanti
è aggregazione comunione

-per un pallone?
-per un pallone!

è arrogarsi la domenica, tingerla di vita

-con una partita?
-con una partita!

Football is

Football is
love
of a field four wood and one sphere

is getting lost
for a banner a color a flag

Football is
gasp
for a whistle a kick a tuft of grass

is appalled
for a whistle a kick a tuft of grass

Football is
discovered in many
aggregation and communion is

-for a ball?
-for a ball!

it's to take the feast day, dye of life

-with a match?
-with a match!
