After leading Team Philippines at the Street Child World Cup 2018, Angela Jessa, an orphan who grew up in a difficult drug-clad childhood, seized the opportunity to become a Generation Amazing youth ambassador and learn about football for development. Her vision is to contribute to social change in the Philippines and show her capabilities of being a youth leader, inside and outside the pitch. Angela is taking concrete steps to achieving her goals. She has already been granted a scholarship for a University in Manila for the academic year 2020, and is leading the GA programme in her village by herself, implementing one of GA’s core values, inclusion, by integrating her younger sister, who has disabilities, into the training with the other kids.
Asmaa Awad from Tripoli, Lebanon
When Asmaa entered the Generation Amazing youth ambassador programme in her community of Tripoli, she had one goal in mind: “I want to convert the energy of the youth of my community from a negative to a creative one.” As with many other female ambassadors and young leaders, Asmaa also suffered from the boundaries imposed on her due to her gender, and as a female Palestinian living in Lebanon, she is also denied many opportunities in her community due to her migrant status.
Despite these challenges, being selected as a GA ambassador gave Asmaa refreshed confidence in herself and her power to fight gender inequality in her community. She quickly became one of the main coaches for young boys and girls in the Naher El Bared camp. She now confidently speaks with community elders, religious leaders and parents, convincing them all that girls and boys should have the same opportunity to play football and participate in life skills sessions.
