But this dream has been made almost impossible due to the financial situation of his parents. He is hopeful that with the financial support from 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐍/𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭, he will be able to fulfil his dream of becoming an educated footballer.According to Belole Ray, jazz singer and music writer, ‘as a youth, pursuing one’s dream gives you nothing but hope that one day success will be mine. Life back here cannot give us that opportunity. It is almost impossible as it takes not only your skills’. She laments that as a result of the anglophone crisis and the outbreak of Covid-19, life has become even more challenging for the youths. As such, they are very vulnerable to many societal ills. Thus, it will be a life changing experience for this young boy, his family, his friends and his society, the Artiste added.We kindly ask for your contributing to this project: https://spin-project.org/projects/74#Together, we can support this cause##Together, we can guarantee access to education by the youths##Together, we can stamp out drug consumption amongst the youths##Together, we can help the youths relive their dreams once again##Together, we can prevent COVID-19#SDGs#youths#OneLoveProject#OneLove
