Leicester youngster Prathiv 'Storma' Khiola says he get 'chills' when he looks back on his recent life changing coaching trip to Malawi with The Football Association.

The 18-year-old plus three other teenagers from around the country outshone over 100 football volunteers at The FA’s Young Leaders Camp in Ascot to secure their Malawi place and a chance to teach the game to African children.

"It was just a phenomenal trip and an unforgettable experience," said the Leicester City fan who attends Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge. "To be honest, it’s hard to describe because it was just so different to anything that I’ve ever done before."

The project was part of the ‘Changing Lives Saving Lives’ programme which aims to educate youngsters in Africa and the week long trip saw Khiola and his colleagues mentor Malawian teenage girls in the Limbe and Ndirande townships on how to stage their own football coaching festival for local children.

Khiola admits that the week proved to be stern challenge for all four young leaders.

"It was a lot tougher than I expected because there were so many obstacles to overcome," he added.

"There were a few equipment and language difficulties and plugging in something as simple as a projector took absolutely ages. It was a real eye-opener and a case of adapting quickly."

The Level One coach also got to play football with some of the local children when The FA party took timeout to visit a township orphanage. The trip was a highlight of Khiola’s Malawi experience.

"I get chills thinking about that visit because it was fantastic," he said. "The kids were so happy to see us and everyone was singing songs.

"We organised a match after and the view was spectacular because the pitch was at the foot of Malawi’s third biggest mountain.

"The kids were really good footballers as well and it was like playing against a team full of mini Micah Richards’. They were so strong and athletic and they weren’t afraid to get stuck in either."

Khiola admits that his feet have barely touched the ground since returning home.

"I’ve not had much time to reflect properly on the trip as I got back home and then went straight to university but I’m just buzzing about football coaching right now.

"I’ve been offered a coaching role with the university team which will be great and I’m hoping that Cambridgeshire FA will be able to point me in the right direction as well."
