[b] WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO COLLABORATE WITH THE PROYECT “YUWA AT DONOSTI CUP”[/b]

[size=2][font=Verdana]A group of University students of the Basque Country travelled last year to India and met by chance some girls that played football in the early morning, before going to the school. They had the opportunity to train with them, to watch one match… and came home with a firm goal: bring those girls to the Donosti Cup. [/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]The team is called “Yuwa”, they are working for five years now and they are in a small town in the north of Calcuta.

They proposed to us the idea and we felt in love with it. We told them that the Donosti Cup will deal with all the accommodation, food and transportation expenses of the team during their stay in San Sebastian.

But, in order that these girls arrive to San Sebastian, it is needed to buy the flight tickets from India to Spain and also pay for the visas.[/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]With this purpose, this group of students has opened a crowdfunding website where all of you, players, coaches, delegates, parents… can collaborate from 10 to 100 euros.[/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]The Donosti Cup, apart from dealing with all the expenses, is going to give 1,000 euros for the flights.[/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]And we encourage you to support this good cause to see if altogether can fulfil the dream of these girls that want to come to the Donosti Cup, mainly, to meet other girls that also play football.[/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]The website where you can contribute is [/font][/size][u][color=#0000FF][size=2][url="http://euskadi.goteo.org/project/yuwa-at-donosti-cup/?lang=en"][size=2][font=Verdana]http://goteo.org/project/yuwa-at-donosti-cup[/font][/size][/url][/size][/color][/u]
[size=2][font=Verdana]Below you can find more information about this girls’ team.[/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]Jharkhand is an Indian state created on November 15th 2000 from the territories that belong to the southern area of the state of Bihar.[/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana] [/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]To be a woman in Jharhand is a discriminatory factor. They have less access to education and a lot of the girls are kept home for house duties. The average age for marrying them is 14, which narrows, if not extinguish, the chances for the girls to follow a proper educational process, leave alone, awareness and understandment of their own bodies and minds for creating a healthy and sustainable family. If not, it is quite easy for them to fall into the hands of sexual exploitation (Jharkhand is the capital of human trafficking in India).[/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana] [/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]Taking into account the problems and the needs of the girls in the area, this project builds a bridge between sport and values that can be learnt through it: team work, respect towards oneself and towards the rest of the people, responsibility...; and the elemental education of the girls. This is the way Yuwa has chosen to fight illiteracy and supporting the girls to develop their education and knowledge leading towards building a healthy and sustainable family in the future.[/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana] [/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]How do they do it?[/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana] [/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]Through the program that Yuwa enables, the gilrs create a community where everyone is responsible for everyone, making freedom and responsibility the base of the development. From the beginning the players are in charge of their own program; they find their own fields, buy their equipment and establish their own practice timetable.[/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana] [/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]When a girl joins or organizes a Yuwa-team, through the positive pressure that exists in the environment, she becomes a more committed student. The players themselves chose team captains, whose responsibility is to make a follow up of the school attendance of the girls in the team and, have also the opportunity to attend daily sessions at Yuwa-Club.[/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana] [/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]Girls learn to pay attention to their own health and to the health of the rest of the team. They take weekly classes on health and have access to information.[/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana] [/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]Yuwa also helps girls to not become victims of kid marriages. Every time a family wants to marry a Yuwa player, the coaches meet their families and talk to them in order to make them realize how important is for the girls to live their childhood and early teens, to be educated and only after, be married.[/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana] [/font][/size]
[size=2][font=Verdana]With all this knowledge they have access to and learn through sharing Yuwa experiences with their team mates, the girls will be able to pursue their dreams and have a family where this values are implemented and the rights spoken up, becoming an example for the rest of the community.[/font][/size][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4]In Donosti Cup in San Sebastian, Spain´s biggest football tournament had over 400 teams participating from across the globe, Yuwa soccer team girls made it out of the group phase with wins against Anorga KKE B (Spain) and Amara Berri KE (Spain), and a loss against Wisconsin International (USA) before falling to Santa Teresa (Spain).[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4]Few days back, as a billion plus India slept, a handful of tribal girls proudly held aloft a trophy they won in their maiden entry in a football tournament in far-flung Spain. It was the night of July 13. Hundreds of fire crackers lit the skies as the girls screamed Vande Mataram – their battle cry – for being placed third in the Gasteiz Cup, the world’s best testing ground for teenager football in Victoria Gastiez, also popular as Europe’s Green Capital.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4]They were the same girls who were slapped, kicked and made to sweep floors by arrogant bureaucrats in Jharkhand when the girls asked for birth certificates, a necessity to apply for passports. But they eventually managed their passports, thanks to a strapping American, Franz Gastler, who pushed the cases of the girls with mandarins of the Ministry of External Affairs in the Indian Capital.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4]Based on Jharkhand, Yuwa is a non-Government Organization which used football as a vehicle to fight girl trafficking and child marriages in one of the most under-developed parts in the country. As per latest reports Jharkhand tops the list in human trafficking in India and it is a state where more than 60% of the female population is illiterate. Through Yuwa girls in Jharkhand villages are brought into football teams where they learn to take care of themselves as well as each other. The often attend studies in Yuwa clubs and in a state where girls are often married off by the time they turn 15, participants in Yuwa teams, as per their website, are never married before they reach the legal age. Franz Gastler, an American citizen who has been working in a tribal village for past four years, was an English teacher for poor children when he was requested by the girls to teach football and he eventually became the football coach for “Yuwa India” a U14 team built solely with girls from local villages. Yuwa’s reach has also increased over the years as now they boast of over 200 girls under their wing, having started with 15 in October 2009. 13 year old Pushpa Toppo, a Yuwa girl, has even represented India in AFC U14 tournament. In 2012, Yuwa became the first organization from India to win the prestigious Nike Gamechangers Award.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4]He was a lone ranger in his efforts. The girls were lovingly titled the Supergoats by the organizers in Spain the moment they saw the girls playing barefoot in practice matches on arrival.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4]Why?[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4]The girls had limited football gear and could not take the risk of tampering it before the tournament. They were overawed by [/size][/font][/color][color=#1B8EDE !important][font=lora !important][size=4]international teams[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4] in the first tournament, the Donosti Cup, but came to their own in the second tournament.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4]Offering a consolation prize for the third team – winner of a match between losing semi-finalists – was a mere formality for the organizers. But for the girls, it was a giant leap into global soccer from their impoverished Rukka village near Ranchi, considered one of the world’s epicenters of child marriage and human trafficking.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4]As soon as the announcement was made for the prize distribution ceremony, the girls rushed into their dressing room and returned, some barefoot, wearing red-bordered white saris, their traditional festive dress. Many had their plastic flowers in their hairs.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4]And when they huddled together after the mandatory photo session, some wept inconsolably because they had almost given up their hopes to participate in this tournament.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4]“They were over the moon. It was their night,” said Gastler of the girls, who subsist on less than a dollar a day. For a country low on soccer, this was - arguably - good news for the mandarins of the game. But no one cared. All India Football Federation (AIFF) president Praful Patel was not aware of the girls’ superlative achievement, nor was the country’s new sports minister Jitendra Singh.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4]“We could not sleep that night (July 13),” says Rinky Kumari, 13, captain, Supergoats. Once she bunked her school helped her mother do household chores. Today, thanks to football, everyone knows her name in the village.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Lora, serif][size=4]She says she remembered the days she was slapped and sweep floors when she went to the Panchayat Office get birth certificates for her passport. “That is the pain of being a tribal girl in India. I do not remember the slap, I remember the Cup,” says Rinky. For her, and her teammates, it means a lot.[/size][/font][/color]
