	Goals for a Better Life in Ciudad Bolivar was created in June of 2002. What started with a Summer Camp is now a permanent soccer league with more than 1,024 children. The Colombianitos Soccer Club, Goals for Better Life, is a Pilot Program that aims to reduce crime and drug addiction and promotes education through the use of soccer. A Community Based Soccer Program that brings hope to children at-risk currently enrolled. The program gets children out of the street, away form the crime and drugs, and into the classrooms. The objective of this Soccer Progam is to reduce crime and drug addiction, and promote education through the use of soccer. This program is more than soccer. It is promoting a positive lifestyle. It's a way to promote a peaceful approach to conflict resolution. It's a tool for wooing a young body away from the lures of drugs, crime or violence. It's a way to help ensure these young people grow up healthy, fit and full of self-esteem. And it's a manifestation of the right to play that the Convention on the Rights of the Child includes as one of the fundamental rights of all children.
