Ms. Al-Kharoosi thanked the Governor for taking the time to speak to them, and added that it was inspiring for the girls to meet such an accomplished woman who has shown "yes we can."

The Twiga players each took a rub and wished to make it to the Women's World Cup (to be held in Germany in summer 2011).The Twiga Stars have been training in Washington since August 2, and are preparing for the African Women's Championship to be held in South Africa this October.The top two teams from the African Championship will proceed to the Women's World Cup in Germany.
