12:19 pm
a lot like the k x we are using right now. the old old button, we just try to maintain them because we know it's hard to get any of the equipments down here for the last few months and few weeks we have been training really hard. he's a tough as lead now. about the 1st steps on the what was the were not so easy. when i joined the club, this island club and i said i would, i had some friends who helped me for me. i do enjoy every minute when i'm in the city, but my main thing calling in winning though with these by a lot of people and i just want to see the packing growing and becoming a big boat in slowing. i'm kind of getting involved,

12:21 pm
disposing and equipment related obstacles when to now, the biggest challenge lies ahead for sammy guessing baez's in the capital 9 rugby we still have, i would like 1010 days before we fly, out for our phone, but it should uh, for the couple of days we, we've not been saying uh we've been to night will be almost for like 3 or 4 days. stressful. uh, going full uh, through defense offices. uh, looking for a visa and all that. but yesterday and today, uh, we had a chance to do a training. that's why i have a smile on my, on my face. i like what, uh and this is almost like going, but the stress of his visa sagas, seeing returns at home, piles of documents are still waiting to be submitted to the spanish and purchased embassies. a complicated process. yeah. for us to go out and
12:22 pm
participate in any event in the country. we have to get lots of documents is uh like passports because invitations late does our bank statements uh, premium. okay. uh they quote statements and all that stuff. i don't know why they do ask for all those documents in as an identity. you seem to have something to come back home for like you have a happy family. you have like the duties from home. you went up kind that i would we yeah, you can go out there. you're not like going and thing therefore the let's it doesn't feel comfortable for you. yes. to all those kind of questions and you're just going for sports then 10 bucks on. so if i don't get a chance these the on the, on these events, and i'll have to wait for another like 4 or 5 years to say more and wait
12:23 pm
for like the nic calling because somebody has good reason to be consent of to being invited to a u. k and them to qualify in 2015, he acquired his 1st passport at great personal expense. but the british visa was never issued and his documents languished. i'm used for another half decade. it's a problem sized by many african athletes, even at the highest levels in 2022 visa, today's course kenyon sprint, etc. not on yana to be left behind, while his teammates travelled ahead to the world athletics championships in the united states. the o africa recruit holder had his visa, denial reversed at the last minute and ended his 20 hour plane journey to 3 hours before his $100.00 mesa race began. hardly ideal conditions for supposing superstar office like been in these athlete or d. o and renew with even less fortunate,
12:24 pm
despite being the only african to qualify for the contests, hip test loan, she was never grown to the visa at all. even well, huge business travelers, phase months, long backlogs, when applying for visas at western embassies with the interview process can be grueling and invasive. so actually it's like semi the recurring 2 hour bus jenny to nairobi, means he's at a disadvantage. so for us to get visas, we have to this is the out of the what the and we have to go tonight will be done every day. skipping our sessions on training, somehow visit for cameras. i'm not allowed inside the embassies, so we catch up with sammy, for a tea break, as he prepares to drop off his final application for a visa to spain. yeah, it has been a long day looking for visas. i have my documents here and the already,
