El Shaddai is a charity in India, set up by a local pastor and a British lady with a vision to care for deprived children in the country.  The charity provides food, clothing, shelter and education for orphans, street children and children from economically poor or broken families.

One of the current supporters of the charity is a lady called Jane Ball.  She regularly visits the children’s homes set up by the charity in India.  On her last visit she was able to give the children a number of football shirts that were donated by players from the Monday Night Football squad.  The children were so excited to receive the shirts and couldn’t wait to put them on for the camera.  And the reason for doing this – Jane is mum to Wiz and Sam, who play for the Godsquad.

Thank you God Squad – you’ve made the childrens’ day!

Very well done to the team from Bessels who completed the three peaks challenge last weekend in 23.5hrs.

There’s still a chance to sponsor them if you’d like to… raising money for Kisumu Children’s Trust and Greenwich YFC’s VIP Parenting project. 2 small charities for whom a small amount of money means an awful lot and can go along way.
