We did it!!! One June 22 our Sierra Leone appeal hit our £1000 target, two days ahead of the closing date for donations. This means that we are delighted to say we will be able to send the 40 boys from Sektars Football Club, based in Makeni, to school for one year and also provide them with football coaching and matches for the same period. Our More Than a Game Sierra Leone appeal was started after volunteering and working together with the Craig Bellamy Foundation and the Collective Sierra Leone in Makeni, northern Sierra Leone. We felt that we needed to do more to help the people of Sierra Leone and, after volunteering in west Africa for two months, decided this appeal was the answer. We want to thank everybody who donated their hard-earned cash to this appeal: And so, a million thank yous go out to: Paul Featherstone, Laurent Dathie, Footbaltic, Graham Williams, Kelvin Hooke, Josu Samaniego del Campo, Alexandra Flemming, Gordon Hamilton, Jaime Morris, Ed Russel, Jane Pannell, Atheen Spencer, Shaun Gisbourne, Erika Medene, Rupert Williams, Maureen Robinson, Bernadette Samuels, Neil Mathieson, Alan Davies, John Mottram, Graham Foster, Lindsey Langford, and Michael Finch. Without all of you, we could not have achieved this. Your efforts will improve the quality of life of a lot of little boys in west Africa.

More Than a game would like to extend our thanks to Graham Willaims, Laurent Dathie and Footbaltic for their kind donations to the More Than a Game Sierra Leone appeal. The running total now stands at £775, with just a few days remaining until the fund raising closes. We will try to extend the fundraising period by a couple of extra weeks, so we can raise the extra £225 we need to hit our £1000 target. |
