Street kids’ soccer cup

BAGUIO CITY—The city government is hosting the first Street Kids Football Cup from Nov. 27 to Dec. 18, drawing soccer teams organized for street children in Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon.

The tournament will raise funds for a shelter devoted to members of the Baguio Street Kids Football Club, which was organized by the Baguio United Football Club and Goshen Land, the real estate company that donated the lot for the facility.

“Football will pave the way for the city’s homeless street children to kick a goal, not just through the net but straight to a safe place where they can sleep without being shooed away in the morning,” said Annabelle Bangsoy who leads Caring Hands, Goshen Land’s social protection foundation.
