Grassroots
Life was hard after high school. I was playing grassroots football in Ghana, and I couldn’t get the support I needed to keep studying or keep playing.
The showcase
I heard about the showcase and took part. So many talented players came. Coach Wayne of Campbell University selected me, and G6:9 Foundation guided me through my visa and admission, without taking any money from me.
A new life
Moving from Ghana to the USA has been a blessing and a life-changing experience. I’ll always be grateful for this opportunity, and I’m proud to be part of this family.
G6:9 Foundation supported me throughout my visa and admission process, without taking any money from me.
