| Fondation Bienfaisance, Inc. & Mouvement Jeunes Campeche Summer 2007 Soccer Tournament |
Fondation Bienfaisance in collaboration with “Mouvement Jeunes Campeche” organizes the Summer 2007 Soccer
Tournament. The tournament serves many important purposes; one central purpose is to bring Fondation Bienfaisance
and the many communities of Morne l’Hospital closer. The tournament also serves as a medium to propagate important
health and behavior modification messages to the youth. Soccer tournaments, health fairs, seminars and conferences,
arts and cultural expressions promotions are primary components of the Fondation Bienfaisance’s community outreach
program.
These projects and undertakings constitute one sure way to keep the youth of these poor neighborhoods involved in
positive activities. The closing of schools and the end of the academic year on Tuesday June 15, 2007 resulted in idle
time for the youth. These impoverished areas are void of social activities and youth inactivity can be easily be swayed.
Fondation Bienfaisance, Inc. chose to emphasize the positive and offered options and alternatives to the youth.
The Final game will take place on Sunday September 2nd 2007. School reopens the following day, Sept 3rd.
