Jardehl Muschamp is still trying to hold on to that dream of attending FC Barcelona's Youth Soccer Residency Academy in the U.S. We spoke to Jardehl and his dad, Hilberto Muschamp in late August when they came asking the public for financial assistance. They had to raise $83,000 Belize dollars. Well, they did get some assistance from the public : over $12,000 worth. But Muschamp had to come up with the remaining $71,000 Belize dollars. And he did, but now, the issue is Jardehl's visa. Muschamp told us today that Jardehl had been turned down twice. But Jardehl isn't the only Belizean athlete trying to advance their sporting careers. We asked Minister of Education and Sports Patrick Faber what and his ministry are doing to help these young athletes. Faber says they are doing all they can.
