Ian Shaw pleasant surprise on the 23rd of May

Ian Shaw the Capital Football technical Director has been supporting our cause for more than a year now by giving the cause a plug via a newsletter and also introducing us to Peter Funnell the Nearpost local Football Radio Show which has been giving the cause a plug also.

Early this year he mentioned to me that he has some incomplete sets that he is willing to donate and he came good on Sunday the 23rd of May when he brought in a box full of goodies amongst the stuff was approx 70 plus various colours and sizes sets which will enable us to number and make 4 to 5 full sets that will soon be proudly used by few junior teams in Philippines.

Thank you Ian for all your help. Your king gesture is very much appreciated.

Ken Yalg the President of Brindabella Blues Football Club Answers our Cooee

Late March I sent a handful of emails introducing Pinoy Football Aid Program to the local junior clubs in ACT in hope to rise awareness and see if any help can be given.

On Sunday afternoon 4th of April i recieved a call from Ken letting me know that he had a lot of gear lying around the clubs Calwell Store Room that he was happy to donate it to the program.

On the Sunday 25th of April after the O43 Fossils match between Canberra FC (team I play for) and Brindabella FC I caught up with Ken and he handed me the a multitude of bags full of jerseys, Shorts, and some football shoes. The Bags contained 620 plus tops. 181 Yellow unnumbered cotton blend Polo shirts, 119 Bright various colours numbered shirts, 282 SSL Polyester unnumbered in 3 different sizes 83 Umbro incomplete numbered sets, 44 various colours and sizes shorts, 11 pairs of socks, 5 hats 6 Pairs of Rugby boots 2 Pairs of junior football boots. WOW that was a very special ANZAC Day and one that I will always remember...

Now the hard yaka of sorting and numbering the Jerseys Begins........

I would like to thank Ken and all the members of the Brindabella Blues Football Club for their generosity and kindness. I don't think that size of this donation will be beaten. I certainly was amazed.
