Investing on Children Happiness and Dreams of Cote d Ivoire: Academie Sportive Sery Mogador

It has been one of my favourite projects for the last 2 years. With my friend Benjamin Djejde, I have been investing on the development of a Sport Academy in Cote d Ivoire, Ouragahio, around 300 Km from Abidjan, let us make it more simple for all of football fans: the place where Drogba comes from. Since this project has started, I have done several trips there and improvements have really shown interesting now after 2 years working on different stages.
1-Choice of the Aerea
2-A surrounding fence to protect the area
3-To carve and to level out all the area
4-Drainage for heavy tropical rain in Western Africa

And doing that in a small place there in Ivory Coast takes a little more of time than in Manhattan: But things looks promising and very soon the kids will be moving from their actual Soccer Academy to this one.
Here you have a brief overview of what is coming out in November 2009

I hope that very soon I would be able to show you the kids playing around and at the same time studying instead of going around the strets of their beautiful village
