    CAMEROON-PAPY-SOCCER-DREAM
    (110902) -- YAOUNDE, Sept. 2, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Papy's family members are seen at home in Yaounde, capital of Cameroon, Aug. 25, 2011.
    Papy is the nickname of Mintoumou James, a 12-year-old boy who lives in a small single-storey house with his family on the mountainside near Yaounde's zoo. Like most boys in Cameroon, Papy starts to play soccer from childhood and has been trained for two years in a private soccer training center. He walks more than half an hour to practice in the training center regardless of wind or rain.
    Papy's father works in a computer company as a secretary, and his salary of 50,000 FCFA (114 U.S. dollars) per month is the only income source of the whole family. To save money, Papy's father usually gets up early in the morning and spends nearly one hour and a half walking to company. Like most parents in Cameroon, he encourages Papy to practise soccer by buying polo shirts and soccer shoes for him, with the hope that his son can be a soccer star like Samuel Eto'o,.
    "When I become a soccer star, I would have the ability to help my family, friends, and others in need." says Papy, with a ball in his arm. (Xinhua/Shen Bohan) (lt)

Like most boys in Cameroon, Papy starts to play soccer from childhood and has been trained for two years in a private soccer training center. He walks more than half an hour to practice in the training center regardless of wind or rain.
    Papy's father works in a computer company as a secretary, and his salary of 50,000 FCFA (114 U.S. dollars) per month is the only income source of the whole family. To save money, Papy's father usually gets up early in the morning and spends nearly one hour and a half walking to company. Like most parents in Cameroon, he encourages Papy to practise soccer by buying polo shirts and soccer shoes for him, with the hope that his son can be a soccer star like Samuel Eto'o,.
    "When I become a soccer star, I would have the ability to help my family, friends, and others in need." says Papy, with a ball in his arm. (Xinhua/Shen Bohan) (lt)
