Africa Football Kit Appeal

[tricky]

awright

I work as a volunteer for a charity which runs football coaching projects in Africa with the aim of raising awareness and understanding of HIV / AIDS among young people, I have worked in this field in around 14 African countries most recently in Uganda in Jan / Feb this year.

We also distribute football kit to the teams, schools and organisations we work with which are generally in poorer areas.

I am away to Ghana in January with a few other coaches and am lookin for unwanted football kit to take over as we have a lot of excess baggage allowance courtesy of BA and the BBC are also taking some of our freight with their African Nations Cup kit, speakin of which look out for a large saltire at games during the tournament

Watched a very moving short documentary about a guy taking footballs out to the kids in Africa last night. He filled a jeep up with something like 1,000 footballs and simply drove round Africa passing them out. The effect that throwing a bunch of kids a football seemed to have on their morale was quite fantastic.

It seemed that one of the most frustrating things for the guy was that some area's he was unable to give the kids a ball because of the land mine problems. You could see it really affected him having to just drive past these kids without being able to give them a ball, especially after seeing how much the other kids enjoyed it.

Great work Robbie.
