Dr (Barrister) Victoria Nemigo, a sport lawyer, who was part of the facilitators at the Train the Trainers Open Fun Football coaching session has described the programme an absolutely fantastic one.

According to her, the Cross Culture programme is an amazing project that has the best intentions of rural communities at large.
"Looking at the crowd. If you remove them from the society, crime will reduced. It's a programme that gives access to self empowerment, to people who would never have expected it.
"For looking at the participant and their faces, you can see how happy they are. It gives them hope for the future because they are trained and resourced to be able to go out to the lowest cadre of the society to fish out young children to train them and guide them to become professionals. So it's a very beautiful programme.

She commends Cross Culture and it's partner for impacting meaningfully to the participants, stressing that "without a programme like this, we will probably never have anything to do with someone like the coordinator from Tunisia."

Barrister Victoria, who is also a sports lawyer, women and child empowerment advocate, thanked the president, Abdul Sule, who she said is determine to change peoples lives.

" I thank the president, Abdul Sule for putting his resources on the line. You know what the country is now, for him to accommodate well over 300 people, feed and cloth them as well as giving them the platform to express themselves and become the best they can be, we can only the thank the Most High for him for this opportunity. Even I had to leave my practice and everything to be part because that is what I believe so much in.
"In any way you can help to impact on another human being, there is nothing better than that, so this is an amazing project," she said.
