Help Kai get to Barcelona to train at the Barca Academy.

Makaya (Kai) is a talented, passionate and dedicated football (soccer) player.

Young Kai eats, breathes and lives football (soccer).

Kai gets dressed playing soccer, takes his ball everywhere, plays soccer at lunch time, plays soccer with his siblings, plays soccer at scouts and gets told at least 50 times a day to stop kicking his ball inside the house.

Kai is desperate to be the next Lionel Messi.

Kai has received an invitation to go to Barcelona to train for 10 days in November/December. This opportunity would let him walk and train where his hero, Lionel Messi, did, be coached by world class coaches and play friendly matches against local Spanish teams. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Kai is still hoping to raise enough money to get Academy training in his club for term 2 and 3 before (hopefully) making it into a Skills Acquisition Phase (SAP) program at the end of the year. Each term of Academy training is $850 and the SAP program another $1500. Your donations so far has Kai enrolled in 2 sessions a week in his club’s Academy program this term.

But having the opportunity to train where his idol trained, with world class coaches and to play against Spanish local club is a life changing opportunity.
