This is the story of Mala, a girl from a small village of Nilphamari. Little Mala always wanted to be an excellent footballer. But… ‘Football is meant only for boys!’ they said.
The society questioned, “What can a girl do? They are just for marriage and household chores.” Mala turned around and went on her own way to play in the village football team.
Mala’s love, passion and zeal for football lead her to the U-15 Girl’s Football Camp where many other girls like her received training to eventually turn their dreams into reality.
The camp not only prepared girls for football but also made them aware about obstacles of everyday lives such as child rights and child abuse. They even practiced Karate and other exercises to be both mentally and physically fit.
Finally, Mala’s confidence, zeal and enthusiasm won the golden cup of the final match! It’s like reaching your goal after overcoming a path of full of difficulties.
Do you have a goal like Mala? Then, don’t stop. Cherish it, find your way and chase it across the unconventional borders. Be who you truly are, be a Mala!
