“It is very important to us that we get to see that you value education, may the Lord bless you. “To the parents, as long as sports do not interfere with your child’s schoolwork, let’s allow them to participate in sports. “Let’s support our home team because we see the fruit of their labour,” she said. Daisy Mangena, the principal, also thanked Team Daniel.

“It means a lot that you chose us. Our soccer field is overgrown with vegetation that needs to be cleaned, but you gave us access to your soccer field to play and it means a lot. It shows us how important this is, and how involved you are with this school. The best part is that all these soccer players started here at this school,” she said.
