"Not only have I improved physically but also mentally through the encounters."
"My daughter has improved a lot both in her studies and in the way she expresses herself."
"I also learned to take responsibility for the consequences of my actions."
"... to see how the adolescents gathered around a game, which made them respect differences and respect others. To see how they brought us teachers together to reflect on ourselves."
"This project contributes a lot to the lives of each one of them because apart from the fact that there is a sporting process in which they are kept busy,... they work on life skills and this has led them to remain very united, to control situations where through dialogue they have been able to resolve conflicts and problems.
"What the corporation does is to promote the development of the self by means of life skills and the strengthening of these skills through sports offerings and psychosocial accompaniment."
"Ituango, I can say that in relation to these children and these families is not the same as in 2016, you have seen the change!"
