Yesterday, two England stars experienced more than just World Cup fever in South Africa.
English fullbacks Michael Dawson and Matthew Upson visited an orphanage in Rustanburg where Dawson sponsored a child last year.
At the SOS Children’s Village, 80 boys and girls have been saved from poverty, being housed in the village by money donated by the FA (Football Association) as well as Tottenham Hotspur stars Dawson, Ledley King, Aaron Lennon and Jermaine Defoe.
Dawson was finally able to meet Aubrey, the twelve-year-old football mad boy he has sponsored for three years. The boy, who parents had both died, was found living on the street with his 14-year-old brother, scavenging for food, after having lived with an alcoholic uncle.
The money England and Tottenham donate allows Aubrey to have food, a school uniform and therapy to help him deal with what's happened in his past.
