Soccer is his greatest love. And Jabbes Chokhotho, from the outskirts of Blantyre, is really on the ball. He lives in a disadvantaged district, almost a ghetto. But now the game has transformed his life.
"Play Soccer Malawi” is a local initiative whose sponsors include the international football organization FIFA and the country's national organization. The American NGO is 15 years old and active in seven countries in western and southern Africa. Some 400 children from around southern Malawi's commercial capital Blantyre are receiving coaching. Jabbes is already in the second phase and now attending secondary school thanks to the organization. For more go to http://www.dw.de/program/global-3000/s-11487-9798
