Antony Wanyama

Ambassador since: January 2020

Why did you choose to become a Ball To All ambassador?

In my neighborhood in Jakarta, there are many children whom I play with over the weekends but there is an acute shortage of balls. Recently, I took the initiative of buying them three balls (pictorial evidence available) but still they are not enough since there are many talented children in the informal settlements in the Jakarta region. I believe that given the facilities, these talented children can comfortably utilize their potential to brighten their future.
For instance, because of the shortage of facilities such as balls, I have managed to liaise with the management of dormitory owners within Jakarta who allow these children to come in their premises and utilize the balls for training, but the issue is some of these children come from far and sometimes their parents never allow them to go far. So I believe that if I help them with the balls, we will have empowered them to be self-reliant and perform their raining within their own playgrounds for the better of the future society.
