Welcome to this weeks blog -giving thanks to Scunthorpe United for their generosity & continued support for Friends of Pakati!
Today we highlight more of the donated items we delivered recently. Some of the schools have sent me more pictures & videos to share with you. My thanks go to the Heads & staff.

Head of Pakati Primary school Mr Mahachi (pictured with some students above) said he was “….very grateful to Scunthorpe United for the polo shirts ant the Coca-cola t-shirts”
Students at Mapanga Primary showing off the Coca-cola t-shirts, pictures courtesy of Head Mrs Maenzanise.
Mrs Maenzanise also wanted to “…thank Scunthorpe United for the t-shirts – the students love them!”
In the videos, they were thanking the Author (me) for bringing them to Zimbabwe, but it’s clear the club has a small but growing following in Ward 14 of Murewa District – also evidenced by the scarves “borrowed” from me by Mrs Maenzanise and local councillor Alderman Israel Maliki…
The pictures of football shirts given by the club are coming soon…here they are before we sent them over to Zimbabwe.
So a huge ‘THANK YOU!!!’ to Scunthorpe United, especially to COO Lee Turnbull, Neil Wright (Fan-Elected Director) & Glyn Sparks – now Marketing Manager, formerly club mascot Scunny Bunny, seen handing them over to me in August.
Latest news:
