19,210 Lives Impacted
It has been a little over a year since the first tournament. As we sit back and think about next steps, it's important to think about the people in Bujumbura; the kids and young adults who have participated and the community who comes out to support them. While the information below is just numbers, remember the people and the faces behind the numbers. These are kids who played against kids they would never have met. People with different beliefs sitting together to cheer for their teams. Kids who watch these tournaments and look forward to participating. All of them learning about the importance of peace and reconciliation.
