The Fairplay For All Foundation (FFA) is a non-stock, non-profit, non-government organization working in the community of Payatas, known for being the country's largest open dump site, located in Quezon City in the Philippines. Its main objective is to help children living in poverty and engaging in child labor break the cycle of poverty through football. Its programs include a grassroots football team, Payatas FC, and a drop-in center for children living in the area. With its name reminiscent of Fair Play campaigns in football culture, FFA’s vision is to achieve a “level playing field on and off the pitch”—that is, providing equal opportunities to everyone, regardless of social status or background. ==History== With the rising popularity of the Azkals, the Philippine National Men’s Football Team, football quickly gained popularity in the Philippines. Roy Moore, a British national and graduate student, had previously done volunteer work in the country and saw this as an opportunity to form a team in Payatas as many of the kids were interested in learning to play. In January, 2011, Moore coached a training session at the local basketball court, attended by around 80 kids from Payatas, its neighboring community Kasiglahan, and Mango Tree House a children’s home run by what would soon be FFA’s partner charity, the Asian Students’ Christian Foundation (ASCF). During this time Moore was introduced to Naomi Tomlinson, who had previously done volunteer work in Mindanao and also founded Triple E, a fund raising charity based in England that aimed to help street children in the Philippines. This led to a partnership between Moore and Tomlinson and the founding of the Fairplay For All Foundation. In 2012, the Fairplay For All Foundation was selected to be the Philippine partner charity of the Street Child World Cup, to be held in Rio, Brazil, in 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fairplay For All Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
