On 30 September 2009 GDM was accepted as a Streetfootballworld network member. So, despite all our remaining challenges and opportunities, perhaps we can now finally say: "GDM has arrived".

Streetfootballworld is the official development partner of FIFA and the implementers of FIFA's Football for Hope programme. To become an official member of the SFW Network is something that is not only difficult to achieve, but also a great honour and privilege for any community based program that strives to promote development through football.

Therefore after close cooperation and interaction with the SFW team in Berlin, it was a historic and joyous occasion when we were informed that GDM would be the first Mozambican project to be selected as official member of the SFW Network! Xavier Razo (GDM General Secretary) mentioned that "although we hope to gain from this membership we would also like to contribute to other members and very importantly represent Mozambique in a respectful way that will promote not only the Manica Province, but also the image of our country".

Special thanks go out to Susanne, Thomas and Mike for giving GDM a sympathetic ear and making this happen.
