Giving Street Children a Voice
As one of the founding members of the SCWC, and a long-term partner of hosts Umthombo Street Children, Nick Turner, co-director of Street Action has been in Durban all week supporting the event, blogging and tweeting as well as posting a daily three minute film of the highlights from the days events.
Street children from eight countries from around the world have come together to compete in the football competition. The Street Child World Cup has played a part in putting the issue in the spot light, celebrating street children's potential through football and the arts and finishing with an indaba (conference) where the children themselves have been given a platform to talk about their experiences, rights and ideas.
Street Action is proud to be involved in this exciting and significant event. You can find out more info at www.streetchildworldcup.org
