Guys,

Thanks for supporting this.  As you may know from the website Funds are going to support the roll out of Football related projects in areas of South Africa at high risk.  At present we have a pilot program in Rustenberg in which 2,500 kids and their families participate.  The program is called Play Football for Life and kids are taught valuable life skills through football and are informed as to the dangers of HIV.  Those children who are HIV negative are given the incentives to stay that way; whilst HIV positive children are given the necessary medication and support network.  We want to expand this program beyond Rustenberg and the North West Provence to Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape and beyond.  This tournament is enabling us to achieve that goal! 

On behalf of myself, everyone at the One to One Children's Fund and the children whose lives we help to change and strengthen we thank you for your support.
