LUANDA - "Sem meninos?" The
request to work without the kids surprised us at first but we soon
realised why. There are seventy young men and women who work as
educators in the communities involved in the project (in Luanda: Trilho,
Bom Pastor, Palanca and Sao Paulo, as well as Viana, Cala Cala, Dondo,
Ndalatando and Benguela). They gathered at the Salesian school in
Sambizanga, in Bairro Lixeira (the rubbish neighbourhood of the Angolan
capital) to follow the Inter Campus course.
Coaches Silvio
Guareschi and Fabio Perfetti quickly seized the opportunity. The seventy
coaches spent the mornings in the classroom, diligently taking notes,
while in the afternoons they ran, juggled and played football, training
on the pitch as part of the coaching course. They had lots of fun
experiencing how the kids feel and learning the approach the Inter
Campus coaches take towards them, respecting their demands and their
request to have fun and learn.
At the end of the visit, there was
a big party to bid farewell to Father Stefano, the local coordinator
who is returning to Italy. After that, Massimo Seregni, the chief
organiser of Inter Campus Angola introduced the new coordinator, Father
William da Lima, a football lover like all Brazilians. We would like to
thank Father Stefano Tollu for the seven years he spent working with us
and wish Father William the best of luck: Deus abençoa!
