The 'A Ganar' foundation is the only institution in Uruguay
that uses football as a tool for development.
and to ameliorate the employability of our young people in Uruguay.
By using football and collective sports, we work on transferring
"what we see on the sports fields to the workplace and to life.
Hello, my name is Sebastian. And I belong to the 'A Ganar' Foundation since 2012.
I live in the Aquacalle suburb.
It's not an easy place to live it.
When I was young,
I had a lot of problems. I was too shy, I closed myself in my own world.
The foundation gives me the tools to feel in charge
Now I am able to interact with people, that's what interests me in studying sales
and I also have now a good knowledge on what's computing science.
And this is very useful to me now, in my job.
but it goes beyond, it's also about values and the discipline we have.
Football is our main sport here in Uruguay.
It is a well developed sport and every young child
always has a ball to play with and kicks it around.
We focus on teamwork, communication, discipline
and through the foundation we can help them to the labour market.
The example of Sebastien has motivated many young people
to attend the courses of the 'A Ganar' foundation
because thanks to his efforts, he demonstrated that when you build yourself
and thanks to the education, it's possible to become a better person.
