In addition they learned important leadership and peace building skills. After the workshops we co-organized a two-day tournament for the kids from Cite Soleil. Over 500 girls and boys participated in the tournament. To complete the Favela Street Week the brand new trainers independently organized another football tournament in a different part of Cite Soleil. In one day over 200 girls and boys played football and had lunch together. Another success for the trainers of Sakala. After they finished the program the trainers received the Favela Street Week certificate.
