Quakers in Painswick and else-where in Gloucestershire are supporting amputee footballers in Sierra Leone.

Friends are helping fundraise for the Sierra Leone Single Leg Amputee Sports Association (SLASA), which works with young men who lost limbs in the civil war. The team qualified for the finals of the Amputee Football World Cup in Mexico in December, but were prevented from travelling due to an outbreak of Ebola.
