17th December:
Football camp!
This two
day football camp in Thailand aimed to provide refugee and migrant children,
without parental care, to have a memorable experience during their holidays.
“We
usually play on a dirt field with many cows around,” remarked Than Lyun age 16.
“We have never been able to play on a real field, with real shoes, and be
trained by a professional … it’s been great.” As about a third of the
participating children owned only sandals, Children on the Edge was able to
provide a pair of athletic shoes for many of the kids.
As the camp came to a close, the focus was already being turned to the next time. Yiyi Win (Children’s Crisis Centre Manger) said “This event has definitely been the highlight of their break. They already want to know when we can do it again. These kids are crazy about football!”
