It was a truly splended day that the children will remember forever.
All the teaching staff at the school, members of the parents’ association and local institutions were in attendance as our captain handed out school kits made up of school bags, notebooks, keyrings, whiteboards, chalk and other school materials to all 529 students.
The gesture was highly appreciated by the headmistress, Mrs Sene, who thanked Kalidou for his generosity and unwavering commitment to supporting the most vulnerable communities.
«It’s a gesture that warmed all our hearts and gives us extra motivation to support our children, who often find it difficult to access some essential educational equipment. This offering confirms Kalidou Koulibaly’s sense of belonging here and commitment to social causes, as well as his desire to share and give back what football has given him to the most fragile groups within society.»
During his speech, Koulibaly set out the objectives for Capitaine du Coeur, encouraging students to show their teachers respect and to believe in their dreams without limiting themselves.
«You are the future of our country. Good education is absolutely key. You’re the future leaders and the next coach of Senegal, the new captain or the future President of the Republic could be here among you!»
Thank you, Kalidou!
