Hundreds of kids from
the war-stricken areas of Mindanao were flown to Manila to participate in the
annual “Football for Peace” festival which aims to develop these kids to become
future leaders by instilling in their hearts and minds the values of
discipline, sportsmanship, teamwork and camaraderie through the sports of
football.
Football for Peace
program started out in the grassy field of Zamboanga when a group of kids
requested a team of soldiers who are playing at that time if they can join them
in playing football… and from then on this advocacy was born with a vision of
“Winning the War by Winning the Peace”.
