Young Tridents spread Christmas cheer

The Barbados Under-17 National football team yesterday delivered a kind gesture by making a special donation of two food hampers to the National HIV/AIDS Commission.

The young footballers believe in giving back to their community and have embarked on charitable acts especially at Christmas time, in the season and spirit of giving.

As Christmas approaches, the team made a presentation of food items during a training session at the Wildey Turf as it seeks to brighten up the lives of others this holiday season.

National Player James Moore said “On the behalf of the National Under-17 football team, I want to donate these food items as we give back to the community for Christmas.”

Head coach Fabian Massiah stated, “Our manager Tricia Browne helped the boys in a major way to conceptualise this initiative. They are very helpful and community-minded and the boys were really onboard with the plans and items came in quickly.

“We are always happy to give back even though football is played on the field, we are building well rounded individuals.”

“We thank the football team for this. It is really needed at this time of the year around Christmas.

“We find a lot of people infected or affected by HIV have to be visiting the food bank to get items and it is really heartening to see the young footballers put their all into this, we thank you tremendously.”
