Captain and goalkeeper of the Super Eagles, Vincent Enyeama, has said the team would continue to support the less privileged in the society, especially those in orphanages.
Enyeama made the promise in Abuja when the team donated some food items, toiletries and cash for the upkeep of orphans of the Divine Wounds of Jesus Christ orphanage, Kubwa.
The Eagles captain said the team was prompted to donate the items to ensure that the orphans were well taken care of.
He noted that the education of the kids was important to the team as that was the foundation of their success as footballers.
“We are here to support this kids and your cause. We just got to know about it and we said we want to be part of it.
“Personally, on behalf of this team, my share of the bonus for the match against Chad will be paid into the orphanage account for education of the kids, to encourage them to push on.
“From time to time, we will continue to assist them in whatever way we can; this is our little token and appreciation from God for the work you are doing,” Enyeama said.
Kingsley Ojo, a Junior Secondary School one student of the orphanage, who spoke on behalf of others, commended the players for their kind gesture.
“I want to thank you for the privilege to come and visit you; I want to thank you for welcoming us.
“May the good Lord continue to bless you and strengthen you; you will never lack.
“As you accept us in this place, may the good Lord accept you and your families in the mighty name of Jesus,” Ojo said.
Charles Ikezemuoka, Director of the home told the News Agency of Nigeria that the money donated by the players would be judiciously used in the education of the children.
