About Mamelodi

Mamelodi is a black township with a population of over a millon. some live in brick houses but most live in shacks. I hear people tell me when it is rainning and stormy there is mud everywhere. They even say that sometimes they had to hold their shack down to keep it from blowing away. Mamelodi needs your help. The population grows everyday. Squatters (people who move in on someone elses land) try to do as much as they can to survive. People starve. The kids there love soccer. But there is no encouragement for them. With school some kids dont like school they just play soccer. There are some amazing athletes in Mamelodi. This one man came in the top 3 of a big race and he was going to get sponsored and be a millon air but he didn't know how to speak english. So he couldn't talk to the people. True story. These kids can't just rely on soccer because if they make it onto a team and in the first month he gets a injury and no team will accept him he will have to start his whole life over again. Be a encouagement for the
 kids and help these kids.
