I can personally say that the arrival of Ricky Weir in Nairobi was like a god sent miracle in my life. I had dropped out of school in Class 7 due to lack of money to pay school fees. It all started on the field as a small joke when Ricky first visited our community in 2012. No professional coach had ever visited our slum and I attended every session every day to either take part or to learn something new just by watching this new coach who turned up it seemed like from nowhere. Little did I know that it was to be the opening of a lifetime opportunity for me personally. I am now in Form 2 and enjoying being in one of the best schools I could ever have dreamed of and working hard to gain the best possible grades as well as improve my English so I may better speak with Ricky on his next visit to see us. I always thank god that I have never been sent home as my school fees are always paid on time by Ricky’s efforts and dedication to me. It is very rare for a slum boy at my age to play in the league and I thank everyone for their help and in a special way thank my head coach Patrick and his entire team for their guidance and the opportunity they always gave me especially to present me to who feels like my new father Mr Ricky Weir
