Israel-based Ghanaian goalkeeper William Amamoo will later this month organize a fund-raising dinner to help deprived children in Africa.
Hapoel Petah Tikva gloves man who runs the Black Panther Foundation will launch the project on 31 October in Petah Tikva.
"We all have a role to play to put smiles on other people’s faces. We cannot do all but the little we can afford can go a long way to touch a heart. Every penny counts and I appeal to all to support this cause," the 25-year-old told goal.com
Amamoo, whose organization has helped needy children and families in Africa, Asia and some parts of Europe, will be assisted by Nigeria duo Vincent Enyeama and Austin Ejide who all ply their trades in the Israeli top flight.
In October 2008, he made a US$10, 000 donation to former Ghana goalkeeper Ibrahim Dossey who was bed-ridden in Romania after a car accident.
After the player’s death he helped fund his daughter’s education.
Amamoo added: "We are also going to set aside some amount of money for the deprived children of Israel to also enjoy from this fund. Helping society is everyone’s responsibility and we can all play a part with our widow’s mite."
