The REMF is proud to announce that it has agreed to support funding applications from two Albion supporters, Matt Wilkin, Thunder Foundation, and Liz O-Brien, Raging Nomad, for the approximate total sum of £10,000. These applications are:-
1.Matt Wilkin, Team Thunder FC, Nairobi, Kenya.
A sum of £5,000 will help around 65 schoolchildren, aged between 9 and 16, in Nairobi, Kenya. This area of Kawangware, is the second largest slum area in the whole of Kenya. Support will also be given to children of that area that suffer from special needs. There is currently no funding whatsoever, and equipment is resourced from where ever possible. The funding will give these kids a focus and keeps them off the streets and away from the dangers of drugs and alcohol
The support will help to provide equipment which will include goals, nets, balls, shirts, shorts, socks, bibs, first aid kit, training aids, etc.
2. Liz O’Brien, Ngoma Leopards F.C., Nanzhila United, Chongwe College P.E. Training, Zambia
Liz is working at Chongwe College but also tries to improve facilities and resources for 2 local football teams. The football clubs have no money at all and have to “beg, borrow and steal” from each other. The fund will help youngsters of 5 years and upwards and as Liz puts it, “it will help 100’s of children, at the last penalty competition I ran, over 50 boys and girls turned up”. The P.E. College is self-funding and helps to train young Zambians to become Primary School teachers of which, P.E. is a major part of the curriculum. Not very easy when they have little or no equipment whatsoever. A sum of around £5,000 will help, help to provide equipment for which will include goals, nets, balls, kit – just about everything they require.
Thanks everyone for the superb support that we receive.
