ASM: I see that you are very passionate about things outside of football which is a common thread I have gotten from this conversation with you. So tell us about Elijah Kellie as a person, the club owner.
Elijah Kellie; I am one of the Kellie ' s. I was born in Kono, Sierra Leone but I grew up in the UK and have spent most of my life overseas. The Kellies are very well known in Kono. It’ s a very large family. On my mission I can basically say I am carrying on the legacy my parents started so even after me myself as well the Kellie family name will always be associated with helping the less fortunate. I am based in the UK. I ' ve got my Masters in IT Engineering and I am just trying to help the best I can, because what i believe in is one of the greatest feelings in the world is knowing that we as individuals can make a difference. It doesn ' t matter how, as long as you want to help you can make a difference in someone’ s life.
ASM: Now what would you like people to know about your club and what makes them standout as the team to watch out for in the future of Sierra Leone football?
