Chicago Fire forward David Accam has made his presence felt off the field by opening a new community pitch in Kumasi that will benefit the Right to Dream Soccer School and the community at large.
The Ghanaian International also has developed a desire to make an equal impact off the pitch, and recently had the chance to do just that in the place where it all began for him.
“After my graduation from Right to Dream, I decided to give back to the community, to Ghana as a whole,” he said. “I asked Right to Dream what was the best possible way I could help to give back to the community and they told me about the project they were doing.”
Known as the David Accam Community Pitch, the project was the result of a partnership between Accam, African oil company Tullow Oil, and the ENAS Hybrid School, which offers students both local and international education in Kumasi.
The pitch will be a base for Right to Dream activities, but will also serve as a gathering place for the entire local community to come together and expand their soccer horizons.
