Pirates Get Into The Festive Spirit By Spoiling Kids In Need

Pirates Get Into The Festive Spirit By Spoiling Kids In Need

Christmas is a time for giving, and Orlando Pirates have done just that by taking the festive spirit to children in need. Did you see what they got up to?

The Buccaneers, who accidently got Innocent Maela's birthday wrong on Monday, bounced back in style by swapping the field for Orlando Children's Home.

Most of Milutin Sredojevic's squad attended the event, where the players sported Father Christmas caps and presented gifts to the kids in what was truly a touching moment.

"Vodacom and the Orlando Pirates players spent a day bringing fun and laughter to the home's 60 children, many of whom have been abused and neglected, while some are also sufferers of HIV/Aids," a press release read.

"The Vodacom Foundation has partnered with the home since 2008 and has donated more than R4 million to its work caring for these children, while also attending to the basic needs and schooling of these children on an annual basis.

"But on Monday it was all about fun as the children played football with the players, learnt skills from them and also had the opportunity to take photographs with their favourite players and even sing Christmas carols with them.

"A jumping castle as well as face painters and balloon artists added to the festive cheer."

It certainly looked like the kids had a great time, and it's great to see the Buccaneers doing good for others in need. Are you glad to see Pirates taking some Christmas cheer to those less fortunate?
