So, just prior to the year that Africa gets its first World Cup, James has upped sticks and moved to the United States, and what better way to spread the greatness of GAFFER and raise awareness than by doing something equally epic. In this spirit, James and his partner in crime, Kelly, shall be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro! Not only is it pretty tall (well, only the fourth biggest mountain in the world, but it’ll do) but, GAFFER HQ lies somewhere within its shadow, and as such it feels fitting.
In doing so, we hope to capitalize on a renewed interest in “soccer” and help raise GAFFER’s profile in the US. We shall be arranging fundraisers, trips, events with local sponsors and, perhaps most excitingly (particularly for those following James’ last magnum opus from Kenya), blogging the whole adventure. Look forward soon to our initial adventures getting our climbing shoes on up and around upstate New York and stay with us right through until we are very up in the air and GAFFER gains that many more years of growth and security helping do what we can for the awesome people of Kenya.
To donate to GAFFER please visit http://www.gaffer.org.uk/donation. GAFFER could not continue providing the sporting facilities, workers, education and support we provide without your help. We are forever grateful!
