'This project has taught me to start early in football development so that future stars are scouted much earlier. I have leaned how important it is to have mass participation and competitive leagues at different age groups. This is the best foundation for developing football. I am slowly becoming brilliant in name and nature. Thanks to Andy and this initiative.' - January 2020

'The project has introduced me to coaching football and administration. I have been aspiring for a long time to be a role model like Coach Wachisa. I am very courageous and confident that no matter even if I am a woman coaching I have no limits. We coach boys and girls alike. I have to be in control and never underestimate myself. I am a leader setting the standards. Currently I am giving a lot of attention in developing football structures under the guidance of my Head Coach Wachisa Munkhondijah.'
