A Game Can Change A Life

By mukenaby on from at-heart.org

It is a simple thing just a ball and a goal – Soccer. The most popular game played and viewed around the world. Soccer reaches far beyond the limits of its lush green pitch (field); it rallies neighbors, provides hope to citizens, gives countries respect and a sense of honor.

For Abdul Rahman Sesay, a Sierra Leone teenager, it actually helped save his life amist his country’s horrible ciivil war. Between 1991 and 2001, about 50,000 people were killed in Sierra Leone’s civil war. Hundreds of thousands of people were forced from their homes, and many became refugees in Guinea and Liberia.

@Heart is honored to sit with Abdul and have him recollect his amazing story how his skills in soccer provided a way to escape the refugee camps, attend the Guinea Soccer Club team, and provide an undergraduate scholarship to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

Egypt’s Africa Cup Victory: Celebrating Everywhere

I woke up Sunday morning to the sounds of car horns blaring and crowds chanting. In New York, this is not uncommon and on any ordinary Sunday, it is more than a little annoying. But on this Sunday, January 31, this was the sweet sound of victory. And no, I’m not talking about the Jets either. Egypt had won the Africa Cup for the third straight year in a row.

Maybe Not World Peace, But Egypt-Algeria Soccer Fallout May Have a Silver Lining

By elan on from www.elanthemag.com

It was 90 minutes. 90 minutes was all it took to create chaos following the Egypt-Algeria World Cup qualifying match and Algeria’s win. Fueled by the media, reports about the match and what followed have created tensions between the two North African states.
