STORYLINE:
Distel Zola, a football star from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), has been striving to help displaced children in the eastern part of the country to restore hope and smile again through the charm of sports.
On the outskirts of Goma in the North Kivu province live thousands of displaced children seeking refuge in shelters. Most of them escaped from their hometowns due to clashes between local rebel groups.
Over the past weeks, Zola has been organizing football matches for children from the shelters, hoping to teach them resilience in the face of a tough situation.
