Young people trained as World Cup stewards

More than a hundred young people from one of the most deprived parts of Brazil have been trained to become football stewards at the World Cup.
Plan has already trained 150 young men and women in host city Natal to work at the Arenas das Dunas during the event and will train hundreds more after the tournament to ensure a long-lasting legacy for young people living in the city.

Jacqueline, aged 22, has her own child but is also responsible for her six siblings because her mother is in hospital with psychiatric problems.
She attended the course, which taught her about customer service and communication, and now feels more optimistic about her future.
“My dream is to have a steady job so I can finish building my house and help take care of my family,” she says."
