'...until you've seen it, smelt it, you don't know ...' - Ricky Weir on the work of the Jersey 2 Africa Football Foundation
SportsceneAvailable for over a year
It was founded in Jersey five years ago with a simple goal - to use football to help young boys and girls in Africa out of poverty, and away from the dangers of drink, drugs and prostitution. Former Jersey FA chairman Ricky Weir was the man with the original idea for the Jersey 2 Africa Football Foundation - and recently got back from a trip to Nairobi, where the charity has been holding a football festival for local children. He's been talking to our Sport Producer Jack Murley.
