Wafrica Intercultural Social Soccer Oct 2017

The community did it again! The young, the not so young and the young at heart came in huge numbers and from diverse backgrounds to celebrate, connect with wider community, share the journey, to have fun playing a friendly soccer match and other social games. Thank you to the Rules Club Wagga Wagga, The City Council of Wagga Wagga, Wellways, the Multicultural Council of Wagga Wagga, and the Soccer Clubs for support this very successful event. More and more young people are at risk of social isolation due to many factors. As a community, events such as the Intercultural Social Soccer is one way for us to support the young people and others to deal with hard experiences they/we may face. See you again soon!
