Officials of Real Madrid Foundation and MAPFRE / Insular Foundation signed an agreement with ANAKK – Sta Cruz (in Davao del Sur) to set up a sports academy (mainly football) for disadvantaged children and youth. ANAKK Sta. Cruz provides alternative learning systems, formal education, livelihood skills and shelter to indigenous people, children and youth at risk, juvenile delinquent, and the out of school youth. The sports academy is one of the advocacies of MAPFRE / Insular Foundation in helping the youth through education. Ms.Rosa Roncal Gimenez (Real Madrid Foundation –Head of International Projects and Corporations); Javier Warleta (President and CEO – MAPFRE / Insular Foundation); and Antonio Garcia (Real Madrid Foundation) inspected the facilities and playing venue located in Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur.
Students under the tutelage of ANAKK will be encouraged to play football before joining their various disciplines, according to Mr. Pablo Tanuan (executive director – ANAKK Sta. Cruz). Davao FA will identify a pool of coaches who are qualified to be integrated in this program. At the last week on November, a coach from Real Madrid will train and select four (4) qualified trainors who can best fit in the academy.
Present during the opening program are Edith Casiple & Ilyn Dumancas of Tambayan Center. The Spanish delegation was later briefed in Davao City on a similar program being implemented by Tambayan Center.
