Thanks to my industrious cousin Ayo Alli I got thrown in at the deep-end to help organise an interesting Charity event called the Score4Africa Africa Awards hosted by Salomon Kalou and other great Footballers along with actor and playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah who lent their name to this awesome cause that helps Children in Africa. Made chaos order and directed a great event. Here's to the FIFA World Cup mon Frere!

Press Release: 6.10.2009
The African Foundation for Development (AFFORD) are happy to announce the 2nd
SCORE4africa Awards at the Sheraton Park Lane, on 30th November 2009.
Hosted by actor and playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah, the SCORE4africa award
categories include: Peace, Health, Youth, People’s Choice, Green, Education,
foundation, diversity, mentoring, partnership and a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Nominations are now open for the prestigious awards which have been designed by
leading artist Sokari Douglas-Camp. Last year award winners included Didier Drogba,
Nwankwo Kanu, George Weah, Arsene Wenger, the Craig Bellamy Foundation, Right to
Play/Chelsea Football Club, Mathare Youth Sports Association, Alive & Kicking, and
Diamber’s, Patrick Veira’s academy initiative in Senegal.
This year’s lucky winners will receive their awards in front of a star studded audience
of celebrities, politicians, business people, and leading personalities from the world of
football - with Kora specialists Tunde Jegede and Mya Jobarteh providing the musical
performance.
‘‘The beautiful game’ is Africa’s pre-eminent sport. In the build up to the 2010 World Cup in
South Africa, African footballers are not only important ambassadors for how football is
changing the world for the better, but significant stakeholders in Africa’s development’, said
Onyekachi Wambu, one of the event’s organisers.
He continued: ‘Footballers contribute through remittances, investments, charity support,
peace work, mentoring and youth work & financial support of extended families & communities.
Football contributes by cementing social & national cohesion, providing employment, helping in
education & skills training provision, and providing inspiration & joy.’
Co-event organiser, Ayo Alli added: ‘At this year’s event we will also be launching our LIVING
FOOTBALL Legacy Project. These are Community Hubs containing social enterprises linked to
local African clubs which will enable these clubs to achieve sustainability.’
Judges for the awards include Marcel Desailly, Nancy Dell’Olio, Lord Newby, Nada Hook
from the FA, Brian Oliver, Sports Editor of The Observer, and Farayi Mungazi from BBC
Africa football website.
