6 Linda from Cambodia How did you start? The way I started to play football was when a coach in Pailin province selected players to practice and join the annual student competition. I qualified for the team which was the first football women s team in my province. I started to practice and play with my friends. We practice football every day at the Tep Nimith high school football pitch in my village. How has football changed your life? Football has changed my life; it has changed my ideas and my perspectives. It has given me a great opportunity to go to South Africa to see the World Cup. Before I started playing football, I thought that football is for men, not for women but now I think that girls have as much of a right to play football as boys. After I came back from playing in South Africa, I became a young leader and a coach to lead the kids in my province and while also helping Spirit of Soccer. Football has made me a famous woman in my province because I had the chance to play football abroad in South Africa and Singapore and see the World Cup game. Linda lives in Pailin province, Cambodia, a place which is polluted by landmines. Cambodia is the country which has the highest number of amputations due to mines. About people have already lost feet, legs or arms because of accidents. One of them is Mr. Chhoeun. Mr. Chhoeun is Linda s father. His leg was amputated after he stepped on a landmine in Today he has a prosthesis. During the Cambodian Civil War in the 70 s and 80 s, he fought as a soldier and was wounded during the war. Splinters of metal from artillery shells can still be found in his body. What do your friends and family say about these changes? I m getting more respect from my friends, especially regarding football techniques. My parents are very happy with what I m doing and they encourage me to keep playing. What new perspectives did you learn through football? Do they help you in your day to day life? My perspective is that I want to be a young leader and I want to speak English fluently. I hope to be a young leader for the Cambodian team at the World Cup This perspective helps me work harder in my daily life, and makes my parents feel proud of me. What role does football play in your life? It helps me gain more ideas and has helped me see the world. It has also taught me how to teach young players to play football.

7 Mili Lugasi from Israel und Amira Muhammad Sulaiman Fahidat from Palestine Text Mili s whole family loves football. When she was little her father took her and her brother regularly to football games and made her wear a football shirt. She played regularly with her brother and the boys from her neighbourhood in the streets and sport fields of their quarter. Mili s brother stopped playing, but she still plays. Mili is Jewish - an Israeli. She just flanks the ball to one of her team mates. The girl to whom she kicked that ball to is a Palestinian. A rare picture that one gets to see here; Israelis and Palestinians cooperating. Once a month the Palestinian and Israeli boys and girls get together to play football in the Twinned Peace Football Schools project. When the kids of the Twinned Peace Football Schools project run around on the pitch, no one can tell who is Israeli and who Palestinian. The joint games influenced Milis life a great dealt. Since she started the program she sees Arabs in a different light. When her classmates tell her today that Arabs are mean and cruel, her response is that they should first meet them personally and then form an opinion. A life without football would be worth nothing, says Amira Muhammad Sulaiman Fahidat from Jericho, a city in Palestine. She has played soccer ever since she can remember, which is even more remarkable since in Palestine it is still very strange to see women playing sports. Even Amira s extended family found it strange that she and her friends wanted to play football. A friend of Amira s was threatened by her brother to be beaten up if she would go to play football. The only ones that supported Amira and her friends were one of their teachers and Youssef Hamad, the soccer coach of the senior men s team. She is grateful to both for supporting her and her friends. Youssef Hamad was also the one who convinced her father to let her play professionally for Baladna Club. Due to her involvement in the club, she even managed to be selected for the Palestinian National Women s Football team. Through football, it was possible for her see her Israeli counterparts for the first time from a more human perspective. A joint and eventful trip as Peace-Team confirmed this impression. Now, Amira wants to pass these experiences on to others as coach. I believe in the power of personal experience - the girls need to make their own experiences with the Israelis. I m only there when they need me.
