Dear friends,
I am so excited to share news of our first month of Street Soccer Programme. Despite fewer session than usual due to reopening after Christmas, Street Soccer has created Safe Spaces for 75 children and young people living on the streets. Due to your support we have created 20 hours of respite in this Programme and have provided 166 hot meals and delivered 18 first aid treatments.
This month we were also able to engage 9 new children and young people. That means that becuase of your support we were able to ensure that nine young people now have the support of an adult that they trust, an adult that they can turn to for support, guidance and love. Something most young people on the streets lack. These nine young people (as well as the other 66) now have space for respite from the chaos of their daily life on the streets - time where they can feel safe and just have fun... Now, isn't that special?
I am off to Kenya on Tuesday and can't wait to share some of our stories of Street Soccer and the difference your support is making. Until then, on behalf of all of us at Glad's House - thank you! Thank you for believing in us and more importantly, in our children and young people. Thank you for fighting for them when so many others don't.
With very best wishes from all of us.
Vicky
