Coach Zidane currently has one year left on his contract with Real. According to ABC news, until now BLD Real does not know if coach Zindae will continue to lead “White Vultures” next season because they have not had a clear discussion with the captain of the team. However, BLD Real’s view is that they still want Zidane to continue his current job. They even see coach Zidane as a strategic factor to realize the goal of luring French striker Kylian Mbappe of PSG to the Bernabeu. It should be known that Zidane and Mbappe have had a very close relationship for many years. As a kid, Mbappe even stayed at coach Zidane’s house when he visited Madrid for the first time. Earlier, it was reported that Zidane is having his last season working for Real. He plans to move and the Real Board of Directors has planned to find a replacement. According to the Spanish media, president Florentino Perez is considering appointing former striker Raul Gonzalez (currently leading Real Castilla’s youth team) to lead the first team. If the above scenario happens, then Raul is on the right path and the path Zidane has taken in the past. In this season, coach Zidane’s reputation has been reduced because Real has been eliminated from the King’s Cup and Champions League. Particularly in the La Liga arena, Real is still competing with Atletico and Barca in the race to the championship, but the opportunity for the white team is not much. After 36 rounds, Real is currently ranked 2nd on the La Liga table with 2 points less than Atletico (78 compared to 80). This is not a big gap, but it is very difficult to fill in the context that the season only has 2 rounds left to finish.

“Take long distance water” – survive where there is no water

Every day 11-year-old Nya has to walk barefoot to get some standing water from a shallow lake a half-day walk from her home. Go then go, go and go. Almost all day walking. I have been walking like that for 7 months a year.

But even if she walked this far, the amount of water Nya took back was not much. It was also very hard to get water. Nya had to dig a small hole in the shallow bed of the lake, pick up each handful of soil so that the little remaining water would flow and that hole. I have to wait a long time to scoop a bucket of water into the can. But the water is cool, leaving the water to settle for a long time still does not get rid of the dirt.

The book Taking Long Distance is based on the true story of Salve Dut. Photo: Pham Thuy.

Salva was only 11 years old when she had to flee the war and lost her family. From Sudan, I joined a group of refugees heading east, back to Ethiopia. On the way, they experienced many dangers, from lions to catch people, to groups of robbers along the way.

But there is nothing more terrible than not having water. They crossed the hot desert with little water in hand. A lot of people did not make it out of the desert. The remainder of those who reach a refugee camp in Ethiopia cannot stay there forever as the refugee camp will be closed. Salva is one of the rare children raised in a refugee camp and adopted by an American family.

Take long distance water is a book written on the true story of Salva Dut, one of hundreds of children lost in the Second Sudanese Civil War that broke out in 1983. After 15 years of living in America, Salva returned to her homeland and began drilling wells throughout the villages bringing water back to the people, for kids like Nya who no longer have to walk long distances to get water.
