A youth soccer program helped kids become more confident in themselves and learn the value of teamwork.
The Oheneba Soccer Academy is a Lima-based organization that aims to help bolster kid's feelings of self-worth and value, which will in turn help boost confidence.
A game was held on collet street next to safety city, and organizers hope that kids learn important life lessons through the game of soccer.
"We don't want them to forget why we are here, they want to become a better citizen," said Edward Eghan, Founder and Executive Director of the Academy. "They want to be able to take the skills and some of the discipline that they have learned through our mentorship to be able to extend that with their peers. To be able to be a good citizen, we want to develop the wholeness of the child. It's not just being physical."
Sign-ups for future camps as well as locations and times for future events can be found on the Oheneba Soccer Academy's website.
