Another ‘round of the field’ for the Malindi of the best young people, those rescued from the streets who study or work if they do not want to continue their studies or are not good enough at kicking a ball around.
Yes, because Real Malindi, a sporting and social project created by Freddie del Curatolo with Karibuni Odv and helped by Pasquale Pes of Olimpia Club and many Italians, readers of Malindikenya.net and fans from Italy, before even thinking of winning, tries to help young people from the outskirts of the town who are in danger of getting into bad ways, by making them study and giving them values.
Despite these priorities, the senior team coached by coach Badili has been promoted to the county championship, and this week celebrations are taking place to introduce players and managers, thanks to Karibuni president Gianfranco Ranieri, Olimpia Club owner Pasquale Pes and Maurizio Corti of Pizza O.
Precisely in the restaurant-bar with sun loungers on the Silversand beach, from late afternoon today the full Real Malindi team will be presented to the Malindi people, and all Italians are invited to make their proximity felt to these youngsters who represent the best possible future for Malindi, grappling with a degradation that also affects the very young, with the increase in petty crime that can also reflect negatively on tourism. May at least sport, the football so loved by us Italians who remember to be united only when the national team is playing, unite us also in Kenya, in the Malindi that needs to be resurrected, and to which Real Malindi with its promotion, in its own small (but not too much) way has given a signal. The appointment is for this evening from 7 p.m., with the boys, the awards ceremony and then dinner with an a la carte menu.
