Rugby legend inspires LIV
'It is really amazing to see the good work being done here'
Former Irish outside centre and international rugby legend, Brian O’Driscoll last week paid a visit to LIV Village at Cottonlands.
As a member of the Laureus World Sports Academy, O’Driscoll decided to visit SA to see first hand some of the work that the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation is doing.
Laureus has been involved with LIV Village in supplying staff and training for coaches under their banner of harnessing the power of sport to promote social change.
“It is really amazing to see the good work being done here,” said O’Driscoll.
“The positive impact that sport has had is also heartwarming. I know from first hand experience that the values imparted on the sporting field stay with you for the rest of your life.”
LIV Village focuses on a solution to aid the crisis presented by the massive amount of orphaned children in South Africa. They place these children into a family environment with a trained foster mother to love them, a school to educate them, and where all their needs are met.
