I am so speechless that I can't write anything about this academy and the person who leads it. The person responsible for this academy is Sylvester Peter and he has a nice blog which speaks very well for his cause and I urge you to read and follow it.
Here is a link to a text interview of Sylvester conducted by Harmeet Kamboe from Sportskeeda. It was very informative about the tough issues that Sylvester faces in running the Academy. The guy is a champ and is doing something which is mind boggling.
The future football stars of India will be coming from all walks of life, including the most disenfranchised of all. One out of Eight children in India grow up in the slums (there is no PC word for it, I checked), and for them football can be a great guide in life, especially if they are led by a person like Sylvester. He has a system which works for the kids who grow up in harsh environments, any little assistance he can get will only help the cause in helping his students and India's cause in becoming a better nation.
