The delegation, lead by Ambassador Erieka Bennett, Diaspora Africa Forum, (DAF) adopted mother of Bechem United Football Club, with nine selected players out of the twenty three who traveled to France, Italy, Denmark and Portugal paid a courtesy call on Ambassador Anne Sophie Ave of France.
Their quest of the group was simple, to say thank you to Ambassador Anne Sophie Ave and the French Embassy for extenting support and courtesy to us and allowing us to experience the world beyond the boys imagination.
Ambassador Ave said, she was proud of the team and advised them to take their education seriously for it is the one thing they can fall on once their football career is over.
Asked why the French Embassy helped Bechem United embark on their trip, Ambassador Ave said, President Emmanuel Macron has a policy to help the youth in Africa, hence the decision to help. She was glad the initiative was successful and thanked DAF for bringing France on board this wonderful project.
