I went to Philippines January 2009 for a 2 week visit and with that occasion I have personally delivered the football shoes collected in 2008 and given them to the lucky Juniors from Nasipit FC Mindanao. Also provided the club with a mix of about 25 new and old Balls and some sheen pads .With that occasion I have met the The coach Mr Rene Sanoria whom i have visited the local schools meet the Principals and organised for mini goals to be made so the kids can play football in their spare time and sport practice lessons.

A very dedicated hard working man that has achieved a lot in promoting football and helping disadvantaged kids master the game in the Lapu Lapu area of Cebu Philippines.

During our visit we have donated about 10 new balls with the promise of some football shoes to follow sometime later in 2009.

Here is a bit of trivia. The Island of Lapu Lapu is named after Lapu Lapu the leader warrior that has fought the Magelan's Spanish army and in that Battle Magelan lost his life.
