The Football for Hope center is out to teach kids about more than just the "beautiful game."
The first of 20 such centers across Africa was opened Saturday, a day after the draw for next year's World Cup, and 12-year-old Lihle Bonkolo was one of the children that learned about both football and how to combat AIDS.
Playing a game known as "Risk Field," teams dribbled a football around a series of obstacles marked with AIDS-related signs. If they hit a cone, they got a red card and had to do sit-ups.
