Title:
South African soccer World Cup: Ghana's future stars
Caption:
A portrait of KeKey (the Academy's goal keeper), sitting on his bed in the dormatory during the school holidays at the Kwahu Tafo Village Football Academy in Mpraeso, a town 3 hours journey north of Accra in Ghana. The Academy was established to offer soccer training to local children. Many of the children come from underprivileged homes from the surrounding area. The majority of the children live in a hostel in Kwahu Tafo. The children sleep in a single dormitory, packed with 15 bunk beds, while some sleep on mattresses on the floor. The children help to cook their own meals, and maintain the hostel. The staff at the Academy ensure that all the children attend school during the day, before participating in training each afternoon. (Credit: Nikki Rixon/Twenty Ten/Africa Media Online)
