Kev, any idea when the site will be likely up and running, if it's in time I can give it a plug in my maxboxing piece next week, maybe a bit too soon.

I'm hoping it will be up and running by Monday at the latest, just trying to sort out the donations part of it

Paypal account, as I mentioned earlier is a quick and easy way to do it, it's international too, you can check which countries it covers on their website.

You can't use Paypal in Kenya, the site we are looking at is Ikobo.com which is the same sort of thing, free to send money etc

Ah right, okeydokey. So much for my bright ideas....let me know how it's coming along with the site, and I'll try and time it so I get the piece up to coincide.

How often can you say getting a broken jaw is a good thing? Had he just lost in a dismal effort and remained unscathed, he would probably been on the next flight home and none of the rest would have happened.

As Pastor Moses himself would say, 'The Lord works in mysterious ways.'

good stuff.

Just out of interest, how far would say £10 go in kenyan money? What's the exchange like?anyone know? jamie?

Posted: **15 Apr 2005, 13:36**

£10 is about 1,480 Kenyan Shillings.

Moses said this would buy enough food and drink for 5 orphans for 4 days.

Moses says he would appreciate any donation as it all helps. God Bless.

Hopefully the site will be up on Sunday, at the latest Monday.

You can get a sneak preview at http://www.moseskinyua.com but the links don't work as yet, but as there in now show at Portsmouth tonight, it gives me something to do!!

Jamie Sanigar wrote:Moses Kinyua from Kenya boxed our fighter Lee Haskins on Friday night losing on points over 10 rounds. Moses sustained a fractured jaw in the second round but boxed on for the full 10 rounds. Moses showed tremendous courage in the fight. Due to the injury sustained we resheduled his flight home so he could receive treatment here in England. He is staying at my flat for the next 3 weeks.

During his stay with me he explained to me that he is a junior pastor learning to become a minister back in Nairobi. He works as a voluntary social worker helping the orphans, young kids involved in crime and drugs, also the HIV/AIDS problem. He explained that most of his fight purses go to help fund this project. Kev at britishboxing.net has done a piece on him. During his stay I am helping him setup a website and look for aid for his project here in England.

I know many boxers especially the bigger names do help with charity work but I read a thread on Mike Tyson with people saying they felt sorry for him losing all that money, when I hear a story like Moses's it makes me wonder.

It was refreshing to hear a story like this with all the negative press boxers seem to get these days.

Best boxing story I've read in a while. Sky should get Ringside back on for stories like this

Agree, this would be a good first episode.
