Meet The PenPals - Part I

We are happy to introduce some of the 16 talented young people from Kumba, Cameroon who are participating in out Premier PenPal Program. They come from various neighborhoods all across Kumba. They range in age from 13 to 21 years. Each of them wants to achieve their dream of pursuing their education and becomming leaders within their community. They have been paired with 16 young soccer players in Montreal, Quebec - most of whom are university students pursuing their own dreams.

What brings these people from two very different countries on two very different continents together?

One Beautiful Game.

Here you get a chance to meet some of the youth from Cameroon. Next time we learn more about their new friends in Montreal.
