In this quarter, we successfully organized a mentoring program with football for 16 teams from 5 different communities. The centerpiece of the initiative was a 14-day football tournament that aimed to create a platform for mentoring and empowerment.
Key Activities:
1. Mentoring Sessions: In addition to the football tournament, we conducted weekly mentoring sessions from September to November 2023. These sessions focused on imparting valuable life skills to approximately 200 young boys.
Topics Covered:
1. The Power of Love in Football: This session highlighted the importance of love and compassion both on and off the football field. By emphasizing the significance of empathy and teamwork, we aimed to foster a positive and inclusive environment.
2. The Meaning and Importance of Positive Team Culture: This session explored the significance of developing a positive team culture in football and how it translates to life. Through interactive activities and discussions, we encouraged boys to embody respect, discipline, and leadership.
Upcoming Plans:
To further expand the impact of the Mentoring Boys With Football initiative, we are planning a quarterly Mentoring With Football Charity Tournament in February 2024. This tournament targets boys under the age of 15 and aims to provide them with valuable mentoring opportunities and a platform to showcase their skills.
Funding Appeal:
We would like to take this opportunity to appeal for continued financial support from our donors. The Mentoring Boys With Football project has proven to be a life-transforming initiative that has positively influenced the lives of numerous young boys. However, sustaining and expanding this program requires the support of generous individuals and organizations like yourselves.
The funds raised will be allocated towards mentoring resources, sports equipment, venue rentals, transportation, and the overall coordination of the program. Your contributions will directly impact the lives of these young boys, providing them with opportunities for personal growth, mentorship, and a positive environment to thrive.
The Mentoring Boys With Football initiative has made significant strides in empowering young boys through the game of football. By combining mentoring sessions with soccer tournaments, we have been able to create a transformative experience for these boys, teaching them invaluable life skills and providing a platform for their growth and development.
We sincerely thank our donors for their support and appeal to them for continued financial assistance. With your help, we can expand this project's reach, positively impacting the lives of even more boys in our community.
Thank you for being an essential part of this journey towards empowering young boys through mentoring with footbal
