FIFA U-17 World Cup 2007
Trinidad & Tobago will be making their second appearance at the FIFA U-17 World Cup, after having participated as hosts in 2001. We have been placed in Group F with the likes of Ghana, Colombia, and Germany, who have tremendous experience and successes at this tournament. T&T will be relying on Leston Paul and Stephen Knox to spearhead them to some scintillating performances. Let's rally round the Junior Warriors!!!.From FIFA.com:
In Group F at the FIFA U-17 World Cup Korea 2007, fans can expect great excitement from start to finish. Colombia caused an upset in the qualifying rounds of the South American U-17 Championship by beating Argentina to second place with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against champions Brazil.
Ghana took third place in the African U-17 Championship and are already a major force in this age range: the Black Starlets have so far qualified for the FIFA U-17 World Cup seven times, taking the title in 1991 and 1995. After an eight-year gap, Germany's U-17 side have managed to qualify for the global showcase again and are eager to do well, whereas outsiders Trinidad and Tobago are looking to cause a few upsets, just like their senior team did at the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ in Germany.

Football reaching out for Africa
Nigerian born diva Patti Boulaye has virtually singlehandedly dedicated the last 5 years to building clinics in Africa for children suffering from HIV/AIDS. This stems from a visit she made to Africa where she learned that babies born with the HIV virus were buried alive in order to kill the demons inside the children and therefore protect the families and community.
