These children from Ile-de-France will participate in the World Cup in Qatar

“When we were told we were going to Qatar, I thought it was a joke! However, Salma, a CM2 student at the Jean-Mermoz primary school in Sarcelles (Val-d’Oise), and all of her classmates – Roger, Mohammad, Ramatoulaye … – will fly away on Sunday 20 November for Doha. The Sport à vie association, created twenty-two years ago by Samira Djouadi and her husband Rachid, offers them the unique opportunity to participate the soccer World Cup. Like them, 12 teenagers followed by the Nazario des Ulis association (Essonne) and 10 autistic children from the Silence des Justes association in Paris will be traveling.
