Giving
Back
The pictures that embodies this page clearly
identifies what the Spitfire Soccer Academy
is all about as a non - profit entity for
youth development. Spitfire Soccer Academy makes donations
to deprived kids as far as Africa. We believe
in giving back and helping to promote the
love and joy that the game of soccer brings
to youths all over the world.
Through
support and donations from Soccer & Sports
and the pass backs from several people we
were able to put few things together to take
to remote areas in Africa of Ghana and Nigeria
as a start.
A very memorable one is the trip with soccer
goods to a very remote village built on water
in Ghana. This was a terrifying trip for
me as I can not swim. But I sum up a courage
to paddle with my guide to visit this village
as this is the only means of transportation
to the village. I heared there is an elementary
school there that plays soccer at recess
so I was determined to see them.
As the pictures on the left depicts. There
was a school and they have a makeshift soccer
field of dirts and woods for goalpost. The
sad thing is when the river or lake rises
the field will be consumed with water that
means no soccer untill the raining season
is over.
While we visited Nigeria few youth teams
were presented with soccer equipments including
my former High School with pictures on the
right with the help of some former old boys
of the school.
We are on a journey to make our planet a better
place for our youths all over the world most
especially Africa through our love Soccer! |
