THE STORY

In April 2015, Kathmandu was hit with a devastating earthquake. The vast majority of Nepal’s capital was torn apart, with entire families being displaced. In that scenery is that social program Gol y Gol borns, using soccer as a vehicle for rehabilitation. Their efforts did not go unnoticed to Donosti Cup, the premier competitive U12-U18 soccer tournament in the world, which offered to grant Gol y Gol and Scholar Home Academy of Nepal entry to the 2018 tournament free of cost

THE ADVENTURE

Julio Sonino and Alfonso Duro are producing the documentary "Summer of Hope" to tell the story of the kids from Scholars' Home Academy, in Kathmandu, Nepal, who traveled  to San Sebastian, Spain, to participate in the Donosti Cup 2018. Join us as we document their adventures, most of whom have never left their neighborhood, village or city, as they travel across the world in an self-enriching experience to exercise their passion against some of the best in the world.

​Whatever the documentary actually generates in terms of revenue once it is released, will be donated to Scholars' Home Academy of Nepal for the same purposes as this fundraising campaign.

FUNDRAISING

Julio Sonino and Alfonso Duro are producing the documentary “Summer of Hope” to tell the story of the kids from Nepal, who traveled  to San Sebastian, Spain, to participate in the Donosti Cup 2018. However, when they got to Nepal, they realized they could help in a much more impactful way. They have decided to donate 100% of the revenue the documentary will generate to the Academy to help repair a building in the school that was deemed unusable since the earthquake of 2015 and also help support Gol y Gol in maintaining the sports program they kickstarted at Scholars’ Home Academy in 2017.
