A large, green soccer field was the scene of the First Sports Encounter of the seven youth clubs, promoted by World Vision in this area of El Salvador. Here, there were at least 350 youth who came to show their athletic abilities in soccer and softball. “With these kinds of events, we aim to contribute to the right of the children and youngsters to play. Besides building harmonious relations between boys and girls in the communities, this also helps to strengthen their leadership,” Silvia Palacios said, World Vision’s program manager, says.
