We are so grateful for the role you are playing in helping empower young leaders in Stellenbosch with quality education inside and outside the classroom! It really is a team effort, so we want to share with our about a few other organizations who are joining us in our efforts to provide the boys with a robust web of support.
In this constantly changing world it is imperative that we help young people build resilience. This year we have collaborated with the Center For Healing and Justice Through Sport to learn more about creating healing centered environments and incorporating healthy doses of stress into our work with the boys so that can overcome the adversity they face in their daily lives and be better prepared to succeed on and off the field as they grow older.
Virtual Soccer Schools (VSS) has been helping us empower, inspire and educate our boys with a special focus on the mental health and wellbeing. Through our collaboration with VSS, some of the Futsal Academy boys recently had an exciting opportunity to meet Fulham FC captain Tim Ream who shared stories from his career as well as insight about setting goals, facing challenges, and overcoming setbacks in life.
We are pleased to share that the FIFA Foundation is also supporting our Futsal Academy as part of their 2022 Community Programme. Being a Community Programme-supported organization helps us improve the work we are doing to deliver high quality individualized education inside and outside the classroom in Stellenbosch. We're excited for this milestone opportunity, and we look forward to continue growing in how we are able to support the boys and their families.
It really does take a village to raise a child, so we thank you for continuing to play an important role in the process!
