‘I have done this work with all of my heart and I believe it is time I use it to try in my own small way to do something good for the communities,’ she said at the launch.
‘I watch all kinds of football matches, from gutter-to-gutter to the big matches at the stadium and I realized that most of the kids don’t have even a football to play with.
‘Even club administrators complain of the lack of footballs for their teams how much more these kids in these communities.
‘So I put it on myself to use my work to raise money to buy at least 1000 balls to distribute in the various communities.’
