Nigerian football star Perpetua Nkwocha knows what it's like
to find yourself many miles from home, making a new life.
Her playing career took her from Nigeria to China and then
to Sweden - where she has been based in the northern town of Skelleftea for
more than seven years.
Now the multiple African champion and African Women's
Footballer of the Year is helping others who have made a very different
journey, to the same destination.
She is player-coach for a local team, but much of her spare
time this winter is being taken up coaching a group of Afghan teenagers, some
of the hundreds of young migrants who have arrived in the town in recent
months.
