Soccer Teams for Teens
FOH organizes soccer teams for teens where they not only practice soccer skills, teamwork and build friendships, but learn health lessons and experience Jesus’s love.
Hello, my name is Phirun*. I am a 13-year-old student in the sixth grade. I joined Fountain of Hope’s Youth Football Program in September. At first, I was nervous to join the team, but now I am so glad I did!
Meet Phirun*
My perspective changed when I joined the team and participated in practice sessions. The teacher introduced us not only to football but to important lessons. The lesson that stood out the most to me was about the effects of drugs. Through this lesson, I gained a deeper understanding of how drugs can negatively impact not just individuals but also families and society as a whole. I felt a strong responsibility to share this knowledge with my friends.
I encouraged my friends to join the football team. I told them, “Playing sports keeps us away from drugs; it helps our health, friendship, and wisdom.” I am grateful to Fountain of Hope and the dedicated teachers who have brought this valuable program to our village. Through the football team, I have learned important life lessons and am committed to sharing these lessons with others.
I hope that Fountain of Hope will continue its efforts to teach in my village, bringing positive change to more kids like me. Thank you for supporting programs like this that help us to make better choices and build a brighter future!
