How do you feel when you have been selected for the 2014 Homeless World Cup in Santiago, Chile? I feel very happy when I have been selected for 2014 HWC in CHILE. But I will worry at the moment because I am not sure HFCA can fine enough money for ticket then I want to leave Phnom Penh for CHILE soon.
