LARRY ASEGO DONATES KITS IN KIBERA



Once again, Kiss 100’s Larry Asego together with well wishers donated football kits to children’s in Kibera and Pumwani.
“I received over whelming support from well-wishers who donated footballs, boots, socks, shorts and tops. What started as a donation for two teams accrued to a lot more that I expected. We managed to get kits for four football teams, one in Kibera, Pumwani, Rabai and a girl’s team in Kilifi. We handed the first set of kits to San Siro United at the Woodley grounds in Kibera,” an elated Larry told Hot Secrets.




So far, Larry’s cause to groom and raise the future football champs has seen corporates take up the cause as well.
“Rotaract Club Westlands has taken up the challenge and adopted the Kilifi girls team whose kits, they will hand over before the end of the year. Other commendable contributions came from Priya Chana of PC Communications and Fatou who donated football kits. Jennifer Asego of World Bank bought lunch for the team and the boys.”



Their next donation will be to the team in Rabai and Kilifi before they break for Christmas. Larry’s parting shot, “Ministry of Rugby, I will be knocking on your doors next.”

LARRY ASEGO AND JALANGO ADOPT A CUB


Kiss 100's Breakfast Show presenters Larry Asego and comic Jalango adopted a baby cheetah on Monday, July 19.
The two were part of the homecoming visit organised by Kenya Wild Service (KWS) for those bigwigs with money to throw around philanthropic wildlife lovers, to get a chance to hang out with the cubs, feed them and bond.
Well, this in not the first time ophaned cubs at the Animal Orphanage in Langata have been adopted. The fasted man on planet earth, Usain 'Boit' Bolt did the same last year when he was in the country. I hear his cub is called Sharon.
KWS CEO Julius Kipn'getich invited the animal lovers to adopt the baby cubs. The package includes paying for their food, medicine and upkeep.
Resolutions Health Founder and CEO Peter Nduati adopted a cub named Misty - he twitted about it, that is how i know - and will be taking up the insurmountable task of seeing to it that Misty is feed, healthy and housed.
However, Larry told Hot Secrets that the two cubs they adopted are yet to be named. "They must be fully adopted first before they are given a name," he said.

LARRY ASEGO DONATES FOOTBALL KITS IN KISUMU


After successfully providing football kits to Makadara youths in Nairobi, Larry Asego and his team took the initiative to Kisumu last Saturday.
“The idea is to give football kits to deserving junior teams because this talent has to be tapped at a tender age,” Larry said.
The junior team from Nyawita slum received kits from kind donors like Kiss 100’s Caroline Mutoko who donated footballs, Keval from www.kshiv.org who helped source for 40 full football kits, Heartstrings Kenya provided lunch for the over 60 children who showed up for the games while Oxfam provided transport and prize money for the tournament.
Oxfam GB staff member Alun McDonald promised to support a club that will name itself after his home team – Swansea.
“Next we are hoping to find an organised junior football team in Mombasa, Kilifi or Malindi,” Larry said.
He added that this initiative aims at building football teams to reckon with in the East African region and beyond.
