Prince Harry plays for K4L in HIV awareness football match
Prince Harry recently joined volunteers from Kick4Life and Sentebale in an HIV awareness football match against his army regiment from the Household Cavalry, Burnaby Blue.
The match was the concluding part of an HIV awareness day that launched K4L’s programmes in the Butha-Buthe district of Lesotho.Over 500 youth attended the event that included interactive HIV education activities from the K4L Curriculum, HIV testing and football matches.
The match between Kick4Life and Burnaby Blue was a tightly contested battle. Despite conceding early on Kick4Life went into half-time 3-1 up. However, two goals in two minutes at the start of the second half brought Burnaby Blue level. Despite further chances at both ends no more goals were scored with the match ending in an honourable 3-3 draw.
Kick4Life and Prince Harry’s charity Sentebale have formed a strategic alliance in Lesotho. The support from Sentebale is focussed on assisting K4L’s work with orphans and vulnerable children and HIV positive youth. In particular this support is centred on the K4L Sports Scholarship Scheme.
