Dreams and Teams

Dreams and Teams is an international programme funded by British Council and UK’s Youth Sports Trust aiming to develop leadership skills among international young leaders around the globe, through sports.

Description

Active in 40 countries, Dreams and Teams has become a platform for young leaders to plan, organise and deliver sports festivals for young people. In 2005, Malaysian young leaders in collaboration with UK young leaders organised an environmental project called “Mangrove replanting – One student One Tree” which was officiated by Suzanna Galvan the then Director of Education and Training British Council Malaysia.

He represented his school G.B.H.S Bafoussam in the U.K in 2010 to represent Cameroon at Oakbank School Keigley and created many activities for the club and with his creative and inspiring leadership attitude made great things for the club in collaboration with his school teammates before he went to start College and obviously other projects.
