Both grew up in the Lixeira favelas of Luanda, Dorivaldo in the parish of Sao Paulo and Beny (his nickname) in Jos\u00e8 do Nazar\u00e9. They represent continuity with respect to the educational dimension that Inter Campus and the Salesians are trying to provide in the midst of the great social, health and economic problems found in the rubbish dumps of Luanda.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Although their stories are similar as regards the journey they have taken, they are different in terms of how they can be described. Dorivaldo can be defined as a \u201cchosen one\u201d because, in addition to being a child in the parish of Sao Paulo, he took part as a player in the Inter Campus World Cup in 2009. Representing his country Angola, he got to know other Inter Campus children from all over the world on Italian football pitches. That is when he understood the size and dimension of his future journey: \u201cI understood back then that I wanted to carry on and that, once grown up, I would try to become an educator for all those children in need, so that one day I could also give them the chance to play in another World Cup.\u201d Dorivaldo now trains and has been in charge of his team for almost two years in the parish of Sao Paulo.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Beny lives in Sao Jos\u00e9 and turned 14 a year and a half ago, meaning he was no longer a child: without any hesitation he asked Gouveia and Father William (local contacts) if he could start the journey to become a coach: \u201cI remember, says Gouveia, he had a determined look in his eyes, and we did not hesitate for a moment to bring him on board as a coach alongside someone more experienced. We quickly realised, however, that he could slowly become more independent, which is why this year he has been training his team on the same pitch where he was playing just a few years ago. He is incredibly professional: he arrives at the pitch half an hour early, always prepares training sessions well in advance and helps those children who are most in need.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Along with Gelson, Lu\u00eds and Kukeny, Beny and Dorivaldo represent the heart of Inter Campus despite being different. They embody the educational values of sport in a process of continuity that finds expression in the children living in the Lixeira favelas of Luanda. These are children who need guides on and off the pitch like never before and who, fortunately for them, have now found them in the form of the two coaches.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dorivaldo and Beny, two of the many Angolan children who have become coaches as part of the project<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4799,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-notizie"],"acf":{"sottotitolo":"Dorivaldo and Beny, two of the many Angolan children who have become coaches as part of the project","bandiera":18672,"galleria":[4799],"carosello_immagini":[4799],"video url nazione":"","Url nazione":"","link_nazione":null,"link_bandiera_nazione":"https:\/\/wearethecampus.org\/en\/angola\/","nome_paese":"ANGOLA","bandiera_paese":18672},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>WHO ARE THE INTER CAMPUS COACHES?
