More than 45 children from remote schools across the country are taking part in the AFC Social Responsibility Programme, titled “Bridging the Gap,” in Thimphu. The five-day initiative, organised by the Bhutan Football Federation is to cultivate a strong sense of responsibility and awareness among young football enthusiasts.

The children are from five remote schools in the country. For most of them, this is their first time in the capital.

The programme will include dribbling techniques, site visits, small-sided games, drama practices, refresher training on skills development, and art competitions.

“I am happy that I got to wear boots, pants, and coats that keep us warm. I learned to dribble and pass,” said Tandin Tshoki, Sarpang.

“After coming here, I made many friends. I learned to play football and I can play well now,” said Karma Thinley, Monggar.

“This is my first time in Thimphu. At home, the ground is muddy and dusty, but here, the ground is so clean and made of artificial turf. We were able to play well, and we’re so happy,” said Jamyang Tashi, Trashi Yangtse.

“I’m new to Thimphu. Back home, I help my parents and do not get much chance to play football. But here, I was able to play well and keep myself healthy,” said Gyeltshen Rinchen Dema, Zhemgang.

“I came here last evening and started playing this morning. I met many friends and got a lot of things. I’m so happy to be here,” said Pema Lotey, Zhemgang.

The federation aims to equip these young children with the tools to grow and thrive.

“The Social Responsibility Programme uses football as a platform to educate and raise awareness on pressing social issues. It’s about promoting participation and creating sustainable initiatives for those at a disadvantage, including age, gender, and economic status,” said Nidup Gyeltshen, coordinator of the Bhutan Football Federation.

“As we are in a remote area with only a few teachers, our students do not often get the chance to play. Sports and games are just as important as studies, keeping them healthy both mentally and physically,” said Jigme Wangchuk, a teacher in Trashi Yangtse.

The program is not just about football; it fosters friendships and teaches valuable life skills.
