QPR 1st further appeal for the Games for Life Programme
The Games for Life Programme is a project run by an organisation called CHEP, for out of/after school youngsters in Zambia, Africa, during which important health issues, such as malaria and HIV, are addressed, as part of the football games project. Dan Cashdan, who is a QPR fan, currently works for CHEP and last Summer he asked for our help by way of holding an appeal for any football kits in order to give these children some suitable clothing.
Following the resounding success of the appeal that took place at the beginning of the season for these youngsters in Zambia, Africa, and the safe transportation of the goods over to Africa, photos were published of the children wearing the donated hooped football kits in both the matchday programme and on this website we thought it would be a nice idea to hold a further appeal, this time at the end of the season.
Once again a large kit bag will be available in the QPR clubshop on the day of the Brentford game, Saturday April 13th. If anyone has any football kit they no longer use/wear then please bring it along to the drop off point in the clubshop on that day. Any items will be appreciated, particularly shorts and footballs as well, of which they are particularly short on. Many thanks in advance and an update will appear in the next few weeks.
Also, if anyone has any goal nets that are no longer used could you let us know please? The youngsters have had to play their games without the use of nets so if anyone can help regarding this please get in touch with us on our info@ address (info@qpr1st.co.uk).
