Ecuador - Inauguration of two football schools for Achuar children and youths
Ecuador - November 2023 - At the end of November, the Yankuam Jintia football schools were inaugurated in the Achuar Community in Wampuik with 120 children and young people, and in the Achuar Community of Wachirpas with 150 of them. Football equipment was handed over to the volunteers responsible for implementing the project in their communities. Authorities from both communities, teachers and parents were present. The aim is to train and educate boys, girls, adolescents and young people in their free time. The values of football can contribute a lot to the development, growth, education and health of Achuar youth. This project is made possible with the help of the United States New Rochelle Project.
