This week, we feature Faizan Sarfraj Patel and Muhammed Zaid Patel, who attend Jacaranda Primary School and also share the same soccer idol, Cristiano Ronaldo, as their favorite international player. While Faizan Sarfraj guards the post as a goalkeeper for Delfos FC and dreams of becoming the best goalkeeper in the world, Muhammed Zaid holds the defence together for Eagles FC and has his sights set on becoming very successful in life. Beyond the football field, both lads said they hope to use their success in the future to help those who are less fortunate, by donating generously to charity. The Laudium Sun wishes the pair every success as they continue to pursue their dreams. May their hard work, discipline and kindness help them to reach the highest levels in both sport and life.
