Clenching fists, flying kicks, snapping punches -- Shaolin kung fu made a big impression on the children in Mabre N' guessan Valerie's village in Cote d'Ivoire when he was young. "The Shaolin temple is very famous in my country. I fell in love with Shaolin kung fu when I was 10 years old when I first watched the 36th Chamber of Shaolin," says Valerie, 23, with a slight French accent. However, the dreams of the children in his hometown mostly faltered in poverty. With no education and no training many struggled to survive.
