After meeting all of the staff and students it is time to get down to “business.” All of the kids seemed to share a passion for futbol and were very eager to showcase their skills. In this case, many of the boys were enjoying having their picture taken as they were winding up for a kick. Then they would all gather around to look at the photos and see who looked most like their favorite futbol star.
This photo reminds me of summers in Ohio, spent barefoot running around with my friends all day. I am also reminded by the minor cuts, scraps and bug bites that I received that afternoon. As part of our mission to provide safe places for PLAY. This means keeping kids healthy by providing basic first aide and hygiene items to reduce the risk or infections. Items for cleaning and dressing minors wounds are often a luxury in small communities or Social Protection Centers such as these.
