More about Street Soccer Caravan.
Elayi uses sport among the free activities she organizes which enables the children and their environment to make a personal and social development. Sport gives a structure in live, it’s healthy, it reduces stress and increases solidarity. Sport is positive, it is something people from every age like, sport gives a feeling of pride and self esteem. Sport is recognizable all over the world. Sport brings people together (solidarity) and provides a tool to build a bridge between people. A more specific example of a social issue is the tournament of 2009 that has been organized between 2 different social and ethnic neighborhoods (quartiers Tokoin-Gbadago en Ahanoukope). Sport was used as a bridge builder.
