Since i've been involved in Football here over the years i've been sending Football equipment to T&T through the T&T association in Washington,i myself when i'm going home which i do every year i carry loads of equipment,i have asked on this forum if anyone can help me send equipment to T&T and got no response,i can tell you it's costly for me to do it but i do it any way because it's my way of giving back.
We have a program here in Va and that's where i got the idea from,kids wear/use equipment for a year,every year is new outfit,the clubs collect all the so called old equipment and send it to countrys in Africa,Asia etc Eurosport does it they always asking for donations,i can tell you what they calling old is not for us,i've thrown away so much equipment here it's unbelievable, it hurts my heart to know we have kids home that can make use of it.
I'm glad to see someboby trying to make this a reality and i know if successfull it will go a long way in helping our young players at home,equipment is very expensive for the average family at home,i know how it was for me in my time,but i don't think a $10.00 boots will cut it because that only lasting a week,the equipment we collect here are Jerseys,Shorts,Socks,Balls,Shinguards,Boots etc even Nets for goals,Ball bags.
I have decided to give it a rest after last year because it's too much for me now plus i can't get help and support no where,i talked about it on the TV programs i was on when i was home for Christmas but ppl tend to take things for granted and what ever you do is not appreciated.     Â
