Edmond Tapsoba, professional soccer player for Bayer 04 Leverkusen, a native Burkinabé, drummed up a few friends and came to visit AMPO. They played against the boys from the orphanage! How exciting was that to play against such a star?

The boys of course were strongly supported by all the others and the noise was deafening.

It ended in a 5:4 win for the Edmond Tapsoba team – no mean feat. Well done boys!

After the match he went to visit the orphanages and talked to the directors of the various facilities.

What a wonderful day for everyone involved. Here in Europe we can’t stop looking at the photos.

Our thanks go to Edmond Tapsoba for this amazing visit.
