Kick Out Malaria by Harvard Men’s Club Soccer Team
Kick Out Malaria by Harvard Men’s Club Soccer Team
The Harvard men’s club soccer team hosted on April 10 the “Kick Out Malaria” tournament for the second year in a row. The competition featured matches between the men’s club teams from Harvard, Boston College, Brown, and Northeastern in the hopes of raising money to prevent malaria in Sierra Leone.
The contest started last year when the Crimson squad partnered with an international NGO called Global Minimum (Gmin), a volunteer-based organization co-founded by the Harvard club soccer team’s former co-president, David Sengeh, a former swissnex intern. The NGO undertakes projects to help distribute insecticide-treated mosquito nets to households in Sierra Leone.
The Swiss Consulate of Boston sponsored the event, and all profits will go towards helping Global Minimum pay the costs of organizing its educational tournament in Sierra Leone.
