Description: When a young Aboriginal boy finally receives the footy boots he has been saving for, they give him the confidence he needs to face the struggles in his life. He wears them everywhere, showing them off to his friends and family as he goes. But when his boots go missing, his grandfather helps him to realise that there is much more to him than what he wears on his feet; he can draw strength from the support of his family and his connection to culture and Country.

Hi everyone! I am Francisco Martinez. I was born in a village called Corral de Almaguer, Spain (probably the place which Cervantes mentioned at the beginning of his famous book “El Quijote”). I grew up surrounded by my family and friends, always with a football on my feet. I graduated with a Bachelor of Education and a Master of Cognitive Neuroscience. On top of that, I studied Postgraduate to teach Spanish as a Foreign Language. At EISB, I hold the roles of Physical Education and Spanish Teacher, as well as Foreign Languages Coordinator. I have lived in Madrid (Spain), Chicago (USA), Dublin (Ireland) and, currently, Bratislava (Slovakia). I love reading about History, my favorite band is Coldplay and one dream to come true is to live in Finland.
