Hi Guys, I got this e-mail regarding possible donations for a street charity who also have a small boxing club. So if there's anything you'd wish to donate then please read on.

Many young children, some as young as 3 or 4 years old, in Mombasa, Kenya, are so poor they live on the streets. Life for them is a bleak struggle for survival, where drugs, alcohol and crime are often the only means of escape. They desperately need help. Glad's House is a young charity that aims to help these street children return to a 'normal' way of life.

We use sport as a way of helping these young people reintegrate back into society. We have been very successful using football through our partnership with Sky TV - go to the Soccer AM web site, under video's look for Rocket in Africa parts 1, 2 & 3. This will show what can be done. Also please visit our web site - www.GladsHouse.com.

We also have a small boxing club, but with a big following, unfortunately we have little if any boxing equipment or kit. We are desperately looking for second-hand or redundant boxing kit and equipment - can you help? Please email Cliff Ferguson - cliff.ferguson@GladsHouse.com - any equipment and/or kit will be welcomed.

Using sport as a catalyst, our aim is to get as many children as possible back into full time education. For those who can perhaps even places in higher education. For the less academic children or those too old to return to school, we aim to get them into apprenticeship schemes where they can learn a trade. All the older children we will assist in finding gainful employment.
