Enkosi Riverview! That’ s a big‘ thank you’ in Xhosa
A warm South African thank you to the Riverview community for donating your soccer boots. You donated over 125 pairs of boots, and with the help of Qantas, who kindly allowed us extra baggage to transport them, they arrived safely in South Africa.
On a sunny Friday afternoon at Imizamo Yethu Hout Bay Cape Town, we joined the junior squad at training to hand out the boots. The older boys were training later, but those helping had already eyed their favourites! There was so much excitement – the smiles on their faces said it all. All boots were loved from big to small and colourful or not!
I was honoured to hand out these boots on behalf of you all, and please don’ t
underestimate what it means to these boys( and a few girls!). The club has been very successful in the local Cape Town competition and with a combination of skill and the right equipment, they will be unstoppable. Your boots will certainly help.
Thank you again. JAMES WHITEING( YEAR 7)
