The star of the night, Senyuiedzorm Adadevoh shared the inspiration behind her initiative to use her profession to help develop the game of football especially in deprived Ghanaian communities.

“I have done this work with all of my heart and I believe it is time I use it to try in my own small way to do something good for the communities,” she said at the launch.

“I watch all kinds of football matches, from gutter-to-gutter to the big matches at the stadium and I realized that most of the kids don’t have even a football to play with.

“Even club administrators complain of the lack of footballs for their teams how much more these kids in these communities.

“So I put it on myself to use my work to raise money to buy at least 1000 balls to distribute in the various communities.”

The exhibition and auctioning of the pictures will continue until Friday inCantonments, Accra.
