M– “Blessed is the hand that gives than the one that takes.”

This adage should have rung in the mind of Guard Alert and Cash Security Services Managing Director (MD) Christophe­r Scott-Long; he decided to buy soccer boots worth E2 535 for four young boys.

The MD said he was touched by the four youngsters’ generosity of playing soccer bare-footed with his grandson at Eveni Sports Ground a week ago.

“I was playing soccer with my four-year-old grandson when the four boys arrived and asked to join us. I was already tired but I let them play with my grandson while I was watching them,” Scott-Long said.

Playing

He said after the boys were done playing, he told them to come to his office last week Saturday where he took their soccer boots sizes.

“The objective today (yesterday) is to show that there is warmth in the sunshine out there and kindness can be done without strings attached,” he said.

Scott-Long said he believed

WHAT SOME HAD TO SAY:

when the boys grew older they too would give help to others that were in need.

“What I can say is that do unto others as you would like done unto you,” he said.

Monitor

He further said if time permitted, he would monitor the boys’ progress in the sport while also encouragin­g them to continue concentrat­ing in their academic studies too. The presentati­on was done at the company’s premises yesterday morning and the boys were presented with their soccer boots by group’s Human Resources (HR) Manager Mbuso Dube. Unfortunat­ely, the other two boys could not make it as they were at school.
