THE BELLE Vue, Dibe Dundonald Hill (BVDDH) Youth Academy/Cultural Youth Football Team is a recently established organisation created to develop the football and youth involvement in the community of St James.
With a desire to engage, educate and enhance the lives of the youth in the area, the Youth Academy also assists the children in both their academics (by placing them in an after-school homework club), and by positive social interaction (hosting frequent football games).
Ma Pau Members Club, through its consistent work in the community building social welfare, understands the importance of an organisation such as the BVDDH Youth Academy/Cultural Youth Football Team, and was more than willing to assist in the venture when approached by Rayshawn Mars.
Ma Pau recognises that sports, combined with academics, are often seen as the best approach to guiding the nation’s youth onto the path of success and a brighter future. As such, the Ma Pau group donated a sum of $2,000 for uniforms and the necessary training equipment, such as footballs, cones and boots.
