Boots

Since 2005 when he joined the Zvandiri programme Patrick has always dreamt of being a soccer player. He definately has the height, energy, talent and now he has the BOOTS, thanks to Maruva.

Patrick is 16 years old. Both his parents passed away when he was a little boy and he has grown up in an orphanage. Its his dream to play football at a national level and has wanted it to be his career for a life time. Watching him play today made us realize that detemination and effort paired together with talent can take you far up your chosen ladder. Training has been part of his daily activities. He has no family to support him with the things most children have. Even though he had to go through the humiliation when borrowing a pair of boots for practise he still remained focused.

Today Patrick owns his own pair of BOOTS and this has put him at yet another level in life. Many thanks to Ryan and his Iron Man event last year for the generosity of giving hope to ths boy. Who knew that a pair of boots would bring change to someones life/career/ future?
