“Football has this incredible power to connect people. It really breaks barriers, creating a space for everyone despite age, nationality, culture and gender. This is what happened with Gumball and the participants.” ISF Cambodia’s Borann Sok shared what it meant to bring together young people from local ISF projects with the Gumball 3000 Group Rally. For the past decade, the Gumball 3000 Foundation has closely partnered with Laureus Sport for Good to help improve the lives of young people all over the world through sport. During the 25th Anniversary rally, ISF participants in Siem Reap enjoyed games designed to help teach life lessons and core values, before taking part in a friendly match alongside rally drivers to showcase their skills. Huge thanks to Maximillion Cooper, Gumball 3000 and the Gumball 3000 Foundation for the continued support. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/etHDrV4s #Gumball3000 | #SportForGood
