December 2018: Kenya / Kitui: Footballer on the road to success


We have reported the importance of sports clubs in the slums, see e.g. https://bachmann-foundation.org/2018/09/05/september-2018-kenia-kitui-report-von-jonathan-vom-fussballclub/

Success motivates, of course, especially when it comes to winning a big tournament. The PBF has again contributed to the necessary equipment.

Letter from Jonathan on 30.12.2018

Dear Peter,
I hope you are well. Last Sunday (two days ago) we played against a strong side here in the semifinals of the current football tournament. We won the game with 3 to 2 goals after making it extra time.
We have now qualified for the final, which will be held on the 31st of December. We train hard and I am confident that we will win again.

Thank you for the support of the PBF. We were able to buy 2 sets of jersies, balls and football boots.

It is the first time that our football club has entered the final of the Hon.Charles Nguna Cup tournament, the largest football tournament in Ukambani, sponsored annually by Mwingi West MP. We will be in the final today.

The help we received from you can only motivate us to win this tournament and take the trophy and other expected prizes home. The guys are very happy, very motivated and swear to win this tournament today!

Jonathan Mwangangi
