SOS Children Orphanage Village vs Manchester City and Manchester City have continued the third time for the long-term commitment to the community for young leader training as part of the Club's Cityzens Giving initiative.
“In partnership with SHB, coaches from Manchester City’s foundation, City in the Community, welcomed local youngsters from SOS Children’s Villages in Hanoi to the training programme.
Using classroom and on-the-pitch workshops, participants developed their leadership and life building skills, whilst gaining an understanding of practical planning and how football can be used as a tool to positively impact social issues.”
“On the final day of the course leaders put their newly found skills into practice as they were tasked with planning and delivering a football festival for other children from SOS Children’s Villages.”
One Young Leader from SOS Children’s Village commented: “This is the first time I have participated in an international course like this. Being guided by coaches from my favourite football club was so exciting. After four days of learning, I have gained many skills to tackle situations. I will learn more and share with my friends when I go back to my village.”
