Black Stars and Aston Villa striker Jordan Ayew showed a side of him unknown to the rest of the world when he reached out to some orphaned kids in Rwanda when Ghana visited for the Afcon 2017 qualifier.<\/p>\n
The 30 orphans who are victims of the Rwandan genocide were afforded the opportunity to watch the match at the Amahoro while they received some food items and a cash sum.<\/p>\n
Jordan revealed that he felt the urge to reach out to the less privileged upon reflection of how loved ones had always been there for him his entire life.<\/p>\n
“I think this is very important\u00a0 because some of us are very lucky to have our parents still alive and some of them don’t have their parents.<\/p>\n
“I spoke to my wife about it and she said it was a good idea so I did what I could for the kids and I hope it brings them happiness.<\/p>\n
“I was only a kid when those incidents happened but I heard a lot about it and when I arrived here I wanted to do something to help the situation,” he mentioned.<\/p>\n
The 23 year old striker also revealed that he was hoping to persist with efforts to help the less privileged in his journey across the world.<\/p>\n
“Any country I visit I will do my best to help the kids who don’t have parents and are poor because I think its a noble thing,”he told some pressmen at the presentation.<\/p>\n
Jordan won Ghana the set piece which provided the only goal in the 1-0 victory against the Amavubi and will be hoping to turn on the style when he returns to action for club side Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
He has played 149 minutes of football for his new team and uis likely to feature when they travel away to play Leicester at the King Power Stadium.<\/p>\n
