After landing in the megapolis that is Mexico City, the Inter Campus delegation of Organising Director Christian Valerio and the coaches Karla Gutierrez, Juri Monzani and Silvio Guareschi were received by a delegation from the United Nations\u2019 UNFPA with Arie Hoekman and National Officer Ivan Castellanos there to greet the delegation. It was an important meeting in building the foundations for future collaboration between Inter Campus and the UN\u2019s Population Fund that was founded to support populations that are in crisis situations while its current mission statement is “to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person’s potential is fulfilled.”<\/p>\n
The visit continued in the first centre in the capital where we were welcomed by local partner Lic. Jos\u00e9 Vallejo from the\u00a0 Fundaci\u00f2n Ranacimiento in the infamous Tepito area. Around 20 boys and girls were on the pitch with Oscar Olaya who was once a street child himself who spent years in Jos\u00e9\u2019s facility and he\u2019s become a father figure for the children who live there. Watching on were representatives from the UN\u2019s UNFPA and UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime)\u00a0that was founded to aid the UN in its response to the issues created by illegal drug trafficking, drug abuse, crime prevention, international terrorism and corruption.<\/p>\n
For years, Jos\u00e8 Vallejo has been faced by problems of every kind, always looking for solutions to help the \u2018callejeros\u2019 living at his facility. The work and experience gained through years with his foundation and alongside Inter Campus made him an ideal speaker for the \u2018Crime Preventions and Sustainable Development\u2019 conference held by the UNODC last April in New York. It was an extraordinary opportunity to describe what Inter Campus is and what it does and how it impacts children\u2019s development to an international audience that also included Italy\u2019s Ambassador to the UN\u2019s Permanent Mission Sebastiano Cardi. In Mexico City, the Fundaci\u00f2n Ranacimiento has another centre with 40 boys and girls. Their pitch in the Ceylan area recently held a fun tournament featuring 80 boys and girls from the other two centres in the capital and the\u00a0Uneve University\u2019s centre in the Ecatepec, ‘Estado de Mexico\u2019 area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
