Football serves as a game changer for these youngsters in Kottayam

Started by coach Ramesh Kumar C., the camp presently trains as many as 140 kids
It��s a soggy morning with a wet field and more rains on the way. These conditions, however, have not stopped this group of 50-odd kids from gleefully running their soccer drills. From ball security to blocking and tackling and field sprints, they keep practising for hours. Standing amid these youngsters, 49-year-old Ramesh Kumar C. asks them to do a little extra, making the children sprint and chase each other over and over. The man, who runs the Drona Football Academy (DFA) in Changnassery, now serves as a lifeline to over a hundred children from underprivileged families. Besides making football accessible to every child irrespective of the social status, he is using the game to ensure these kids are given a fair shot at life.
