Academia Do Johnson
Lisbonne, Portugal
The Johnson Academy has been helping more than 180 children aged 6 to 18 for the past 8 years in the neighborhoods of Cova da Moura and Zambujal, in the suburbs of Lisbon.
Through sport (futsal and basketball) and education (via help with homework), they provide young people with strong values, thus empowering them to free themselves from the determinism of the ghettos where they grow up.
In the words of Dub inc
Portugal is a country where we have been playing regularly since 2006. We asked Fernando Cabral (our Portuguese tour manager) to tell us about a local association that he found relevant.
