Join The Fight For Al Bangura
December 14, 2007
If you have not heard about Al Bangura’s heart wrenching
story, my good friends over at SoccerLens.com posted a riviting
article offering a petition to the British Parliament . With all the media craze in the
Ahmed and his team are offering up at least a solution to the troubling situation Al is in.
The situation hits home with me because I deeply care about
what is happening around the world where others are not so fortunate. I’m specifically speaking about issues of
extreme violence like what Liberia is recovering from; human trafficking of players and health issues like the AIDS epidemic in Africa.
Along with Ahmed and others, we care about Bangura’s issue and
want your help to do something about it. Moreover, I hope this article incentivizes you to to get involved and take action by supporting at least one of the problems mentioned here.
If you catch this post and are in the UK please participate in the
petition process. Al and his family deserve a better chance in life and he has worked extremely hard to get to where he is today given the challenges he had to fight against to get there.
Because of Bangura’s case and other similar story’s, we are in the process of establishing the Footballers For Peace Foundation to aid in issues such
as the situation Al had to fight through to reach his height at Watford. Unfortunately for Al, we can
only do so much and his case is one of many that needs significantly more
attention in this world. Children should
not ever be in a situation where they are forced to leave their home for survival and then along the way be taken advantage of.
Bangura’s case is one of the beautiful story’s that might
turn out horrible if asylum is not granted. So, please act by expressing your support. Contact Claire Ward at the British Parliament wardc@parliament.uk and express your concern. Lastly, if you can please bring more attention to the issue by voting for the story or blogging about it.
