Hello all,
Thanks for the incredible support you all extended to us last season (2015-16). We set out on a target of 15 lakhs and met it with right before our championships got underway.
This past year, we utilized the funds to:
- Provide training equipments to schools for the program - Provide factory-made studs & shin guards for 1520 children who are part of the JFK program in 4 cities - Support our coaching needs (15% of the entire needs were covered by the funds raised through this platform!)
We conducted 32 sessions on average for each team in the program, totalling to more than 2000 sessions across the year in all our sites. We've taken giant leaps in building the basic life skills among these kids through the sport, thanks to all your support.
This last season, we conducted one of the biggest leagues in the country - School Football Championship (www.sfcleague.com) where teams from elite schools were pitted against the teams from JFK. Incidentally, in 4 out of the 10 divisions, our JFK children emerged national champions - something that has proved the power of the sport.
Here's a quick highlight video from the finale that you'll all enjoy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwmd61bAI_g
We're also happy to announce that 4 kids from our program will be making a trip to Crystal Palace FC, London in August 2016. This is just the beginning of something fantastic - we hope each of you continue to support us this year as well!
