Sarith Veth, a 14-year-old boy, grows up as the oldest with a younger brother and a younger sister. They live in a small house which is 6 km away from his school. He always walks to school and it takes more than one hour to arrive. Veth has joined the team since June 2017.
“I love football and I am good at playing football. I am honored to be part of a team, and I want to do my best to contribute to our team. It’s also a good opportunity to keep me at school without dropping me out because I have to spend more than two hours to school and sometimes I have no motivation to attend the classes. My parents let me join the team and encourage me to study well, so I have to finish all my homework after school every day.
After joining TFCF football team, I’ve learned a lot and made a good progress including my study and football skills. My coach taught me many important skills, such as how to pass a soccer ball with the inside of my foot or perform a tip-toe in the right direction. In addition to learning from my coach, I also keep searching and learning more skill sets through internet. I am an attacker in our team and I also assist to prepare materials for the training. My coach always told me that I’m one of good attackers in my team. Therefore, I hope to be a famous football player and represent for my school and country. I want to make myself and family proud and I believe that I can make it. Thank you for offering me the opportunity to join TFCF football team and I am going to make my dream come true someday.”
