Summer Activities Set

Things are falling into place for the 2011 Summer Expo set for June - July in the South West Region of Cameroon. Our Friends from Montreal, FSS are building a comprehensive manual for soccer drills and games. We are planning for two Soccer Festivals – one three-day extravaganza in Kumba and another two-day event the following weekend in Buea with our partners, United Action for Children.

Because we are so lucky to have 14 young ladies from FSS Sabalerry Soccer Club joining us in Cameroon for two weeks - 13 players and their wonderful coach –we thought it would be a great opportunity to work with the Women’s Empowerment Center. FSS Salaberry will lead two workshops where they can exchange ideas with the young women of Kumba and create a positive learning experience for everyone involved. In August of 2010, the Director at the Women’s Empowerment Center asked CFDP specifically, “What will you do for this girls and young women?”

We think she will be pleased with our response!!

And…our Pen Pals will get to spend some quality time together. I know the FSS players are very excited for this…We will get to some feedback from the boys and girls in Kumba soon.
