Section 3
Luma started teaching soccer/to the refugee
boys.//
The team practiced every week/on a public field.//
In practice,/Luma emphasized/the importance of teamwork,/and the boys trusted her.//
That was the reason/why they continued training hard.//
Soon,/the team made progress.//
Yet,/there were some problems.//
Some boys were bullied at
school,/and others joined gangs.//
Luma encouraged such boys,/saying,/“Focus on
soccer/and make friends with your teammates.”//
In addition,/many of the boys/had not received enough education/in their home countries.//
Some of them could not read or write.//
They could not do simple calculations,/either .//
Luma supported them/by providing private lessons/after school.//
This was helpful for them/to catch
up with their classmates.//
