The great World Cup football tournament is kicking off today at 4 p.m. with the host country opening against Mexico. I cannot wait! I wish my team (England) was on slightly better form but am still hopeful! There is also something we can do to create a lasting legacy that could see millions more kids receive an education.
South Africa President Jacob Zuma has just announced that he will hold a global leadership summit during the World Cup. The aim? Push leaders and football fans to give children a chance to go to school. Something not hard to support. So HopeOfiriha is teaming up with 1Goal, bringing together footballers and fans to give children the extra kick needed to go to school.
As the world turns its attention to Africa for the first time the World Cup is taking place on the continent, let’s enjoy the game and help every child get a basic education. Please give your yellow card to Nelson Mandela by clicking here.
