'Goals for Girls' from USA visited Andro Football Team in November 2016
Message from Jackie Skinner , 'Goals for Girls' , Washington DC, USA
Andro Village is the home to the girls soccer club called AMMA FC (who recently began allowing young boys to join as well), and is led by Bikram Singh. The girls in this village live and breathe soccer from a young age, and seem to be built for the game.
Unlike many other places in India, the community has naturally rallied around these girls, and have supported them playing the game they love from an early age.
During my visit to this beautiful village, we began the weekend soccer festivities with a visit to the fire temple to appropriately inaugurate the forthcoming small tournament and lunch which would be attended by local leaders and the girls' parents. This festival was dedicated to late Coach Bijoy Ph..one of the early pioneering caoch...who started the legacy of girls football for AMMA FC.
This year's selected group of Andro girls will travel over 40 hours by bus and train to attend the Goals for Girls Leadership Summit.
We look forward to working with these awesome girls, and watching them become leaders in their community as they implement their Community Change Project after the Summit.
Thank you, AMMA FC and Bikram Singh, for introducing me to the beauty and soul of Andro.
