Half of the year has passed and the teams are working better each day. We have noticed major positive changes in participant’s attitudes and in their health habits.
Girls from the hockey teams have created strong bonds with each other, they started sharing many moments outside the field as well and we can notice how their self-esteem have increased as a result of perceiving themselves as athletes.
With the boys from the soccer teams we can also notice positive changes, they have decreased their levels of violence and are managing their frustrations, and increased their conflict resolutions abilities. Of course parents are the #1 fans, so a group of moms got together and created some flags to take to field whenever there is a match.
This time I share a special video we launched for a campaign we are doing in Argentina – sorry, it’s in Spanish – to invite people to join as social investors to help us continue to do our work, where everybody can see how we use sports to fight addiction and criminality. We invite you to share it as well!
As I always mention, please follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and stay in touch with us.
