Rhyl FC supporting children in Rwanda

Posted by chris on March 19, 2007 4:12 PM | 

Working closely with SignPost a charitable organisation helping people in deprived countries, the club donated some "used" playing kit and footballs which were taken over to Rwanda to donate to the young children in a village called BUE.
The kit and balls were greatly welcomed and were immediately put to use by the children who organised a football match.
A picture was made by the children out of dried banana skins and depicts them playing a match in the Lilywhites kit.
Mal Jackson the Commercial Director commented " The kit and balls were lying around in our stores, so it made good sense to donate them to SignPost. To hear the response from the children and the thrill they got, from what to us, is a day to day item, was wonderful and very touching.To have them send back the picture highlights the enjoyment and kindness that these children have towards such actions from ourselves and the other numerous organisations that donate goods or other items".
