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)

CAMEROON-YOUTH-SOCCER-DREAM
(110901) -- BEIJING, Sept. 1, 2011 (Xinhua) -- A boy plays soccer on a clay soccer field in Yaounde, capital of Cameroon, Aug. 21, 2011.
No matter on the crude fields by the roads or on the vacant lots in the shanty towns, children and teenagers playing soccer can be seen all over the city. To Cameroonians, soccer star is as popular as president. Being a soccer star like Samuel Eto'o means rich income and decent social status, so playing football is the most important thing for the youth in Cameroon, especially children from poor families.
"The youth of Cameroon take Samuel Eto'o idol and my duty is to help them realize their dreams." Mama Lazare, the coach of Salom Football Training Center, who had once been a soccer player of Cameroon National Soccer Team said. (Xinhua/ Shen Bohan) (lt)
