The two football enthusiasts we profile this week are strikers, Rayaan Hussain and Zia Abdoola, who attend the same school, Al Ghazali College, but play for different clubs, AGC Sports Club and Delfos FC. The boys have very different career ambitions, with Rayaan wanting to shine as a pro-soccer player, while Zia has academic ambitions, wanting to become a doctor. One thing however that unites the pair, is their desire to uplift those less fortunate when they achieve success, showing that ambition and kindness can definitely go hand-in-hand. The Laudium Sun wishes the lads everything of the very best as they remain focused on working hard to achieve their goals and dreams, hopefully inspiring other youngsters along the way. Good luck guys!!
