Anita Guerra & “Fútbol en los Barrios“
The Camagüey Municipal Historian's Office is a partner of our football project. We visited 29-year-old Anita Guerra, who works there and is responsible for the social impact. As we always mention, playing football is not the only focus of our children's football project "Fútbol en los Barrios". Teaching social values and the sustainable development of the 1000 beneficiary children aged 8 to 15 is also an absolute priority.
