How FIC is Using Football To Develop Community Champions In DR Congo

Just had a meeting with Adam Taha, two hours ago and he opened my eyes to how to market and attract interest, cash and funding to FIC.

He shared with me the journey of Andrew Carnegie, the real meaning of Definite Purpose Aim. The story of Napoleon Hill which revealed, how knowing what I wanted to do from day one, has been a great asset.

It was an amazing two hours.

We went through the needs I'm targeting and together, planned a marketing blue print to help FIC to achieve it's aims.

One of the challenges FIC has had is I needed to find a way to generate funds to support for the work I'm doing with the team in Africa. For some years now, I've worked with an amazing team who have worked without funding for the last 3 years.

It's what Adam Taha mentioned in the story of Andrew Carnegie - to go the Extra Mile without thinking of getting paid first but do what you love to do.

How To Use Football In A World Of
Poverty And Lack Of Education
It's here where I share with you the problems and solutions of how to use Football to solve the many problems in the terroitory of Fizi in province in South Kivu in DR Congo.

There is a lack of education, poverty, disease DR Congo and the cause is due to the war.

The war has been over from 2006, when a president was elected but we still see the overwhelming impact it has had till this day.

For example, the majority of the children have no access to education, clean water, food, clothing, shelters and the basic needs that every human being can have today.

We believe that any single child around the world has the right to education and a basic needs of a home, clean water and food.
