POSITION IN CHRISC: Volunteer (Referee)
My name is Abdalla Ibrahim from Githogoro Village, I am 18 years old and a member of CHRISC Nairobi. I volunteer as a referee and I spend most of my free time during weekends officiating matches during the ongoing CHRISC Nairobi league.
I developed an interest in joining CHRISC in the year 2007 when I took one of my teams to participate in the league CHRISC had organized. I was later trained as a referee and as a KICKING AIDS OUT Peer leader. I have now realized that am a leader something that I never knew before joining CHRISC. CHRISC has developed me into what I am.
I have several exposures as a referees one being among the selected referees to officiate matches during East Africa cup in 2009 and 2010. I never thought that I can work alongside great referees from East Africa but this has really motivated me so much. I now officiate some of the local league matches organized by Football bodies in the country (Kenya) and am determined to go extra miles in achieving my dreams in my life.
I believe I can be among great FIFA referees in the future. I urge youth from our communities to realize their dream by joining some of the sports organizations. CHRISC has nurtured me and I still hope to get much from them.
