On the 31st of August I’m travelling to Africa for one month where I will be volunteering in an orphanage and then I’m climbing up Kilimanjaro for charity. Ive funded the whole trip myself and have decided to do my climb to raise money for No More Malaria UK which is an excellent well known UK charity who raise money to help prevent malaria.

<e/n>
My inspiration for wanting to do the climb and raise money for this charity is the following:

<e/n>
I have always been extremely adventurous, active and I love a challenge and have always loved the idea of climbing Kilimanjaro and have always wanted to do it to raise money for charity. There are hundreds of brilliant charities that help people in Africa but I’ve decided to raise money for No More Malaria UK. My inspiration for wanting to support this charity comes from one of my best friends who travelled to Africa a few years ago and caught Malaria extremely badly.

A Night At The Opera ? Or Actually  It Was The PFA Awards Just ACTING Like The Opera as Arsenal’s Kim Little Becomes Inaugural Women’s Professional Player’s Player Of The Year.

Instead of lauding the first ever  Female Professional Footballer Of The Year at Park Lane, London last Sunday evening , the Association of those paid , and once paid to play the game of Football, once more saw itself drawn into a furnace of controversy . To the casual observer , this Organization , just as its’ Parent , The F.A. itself ,  seems to be unable to open its collective mouth , as it were , without ramming its own foot therein . The main loser , aside the the Public Image of the P.F.A , was Kim Little .

What with the Second Edition of our regular Women’s Focused Page , and indeed the title of the Piece being the same as the Feature , I felt it only apt to present a small synopsis  as  to   why – in these times of Claim-Fever , and Health and Safety paranoia , we actually  advertise   for  Females to lash missiles into the crowd at Evertonians each Match Day .

“Once Everton has touched you nothing will be the same” – Alan Ball

So growing up I was the only girl with two brothers, and from a young age I quickly realised that if I wanted to be included by them I pretty much had to be a boy.  There was no way they were ever going to sit down and play Barbie with me (well who knows, maybe I should have tried??), so instead I became a football fanatic, WWF obsessive, Mario Kart lover and champion conker player.  I became, and probably still am, the girliest tomboy I know – obsessed with hair, make-up and shoes (it’s my dream to own a pair of Christian Louboutins), but my ideal Saturday would be going the match, going the pub and going home in time for Match of the Day!

Football: An Agent for Social Inclusion? by @EvertonianCamel

Every now and then (and all too often) a horror story of racism, sexism, xenophobia, religious intolerance, homophobia or even criminal activity raises it’s ugly head to tarnish Football’s reputation; but what IS the reputation Football should have?

We all know the stories of poor, dis-advantaged kids who have no hope of ever lifting themselves up until it’s discovered that they can kick a ball well.  Many of us know how the list of “original clubs” is a rag tag tail of Old Boys Clubs of Public Schools, Work Place Social Club Teams and Church Teams. But few of us ever stop to think what football’s role in society is.
