“My name is
Louie Santos a volunteer at the Fazenda da Esperança,
Naga (Southern Philippines). The boys I play
with are altar boys from the Don Bosco Parish here in Carolina, Naga. I started playing when I was
six years old. I started coaching at17 and did it until 28 years old. I also
attended various coaching courses from the Asian Football Federation organized
by the Philippine Football Federation.
More
important is the relationship we’ve built together. The fact that they call me
"kuya" (big brother) gives me a sense of responsibility to teach them
values like fair play, mutual respect, and love.
I have
asked the help of the football community in Manila, friends, former teammates and
co-coaches who have pledged to donate us some used soccer shoes and training
equipment. I also plan to offer my coaching services for free with an agreement
with the parish and the children for those who want to train in a specific
standard football program for youth.
Louie”
