Futsal Activity for Development and Good Health

On May 14 we had our first training session in Futsal together with Xarex Velasquez, coach at Philippine Futsal National Team, and the other coaches from the National Team and from Kick for Goals.

Sports does not simply promote good health. The impact of sport on kids and youth is so much more extensive than that .

In the words of Sos Children’s Villages: “Sports are a natural partner in development and peace. The principles necessary for development and peace, such as cooperation, sharing, respect and fair play are a natural part of sports. Sports bring individuals and communities together, highlighting what people have in common. Sports teach discipline, leadership, confidence, tolerance, cooperation, and respect”

We could not agree more, and are happy to be able to integrate sports in our scholarship program!
