Day 9 - The morning was spent learning about girls in the world who have had their lives changed postiviely through football, then off to Killing Mountain to learn about Cambodia's past, a traditional Khmer lunch and then a futsal tournament on the airport runway!

The girls gather in the morning to attend the SALT Academy home for players who do not have family who can look after them, or have been rescued by SALT from human trafficking and given help, support and new motivation through involvement with their Woman's Football Programme, the first in Cambodia.

Sreypoe talks to the girls about the "rules" for the 10 girls who live in the house.

The American and Cambodian girls discuss the hope given to girls around the world through football and how football can be the catalyst for positive change. Sam, who founded SALT Academy, and Steve lead the workshop looking at girls around the world who have been given a new beginning though various football projects. Two girls from SALT will be guests at the Woman's World Cup in Germany.

Part of the project involves English education allowing the SALT girls to have the language to connect with other girls around the world such as the Woman's team from Concordia College. The visit helped "empower" the Cambodian girls and they girls quickly formed strong relationships with each other.
